Are you looking for a Sahara motorcycle tour that maximises your time in the sand? You’re in the right place! We have carefully crafted this Sahara experience in Morocco for enduro bikers just like you. Around 90% of the Desert Quest tour takes place off-road! Some experience in dunes and sand is preferable for you to get the most from your ride, but it’s not imperative.
You will ride through the three Ergs (sand/dune areas) of Chegaga, Ouzina, and Chebbi. At the latter, we will attempt the ascent to the top of the tallest dunes in Morocco which stand at a staggering 205m! This 6-day Sahara desert trip in Morocco also involves crossing the spectacular Jebel Saghro mountain range with its winding trails and major drop-offs into the valleys below. We then pass through the area’s own “Monument Valley”, a breathtaking highlight of this austere and lunar-like terrain. Our CanAm Sport and X3 buggies can also join these tours, making them accessible and enjoyable for all levels.
Your safety on our Morocco motorcycle tours is our priority. Our fully equipped support truck follows not far behind the pack, with our mechanic, to sort out any punctures or make a quick check-over after an off.
Watch the video below and transport yourself directly into the unique enduro experience that this Morocco Sahara Desert tour offers. And don’t forget to look through the photos and videos on our Gallery page for more incredible insights!
