Join us for our Sahara Experience, an unforgettable eight-day journey through the northwestern Moroccan Sahara. This unique adventure has become our signature offering and runs three times a year— in April, May, and October (with children welcome on our October tour for which we make special arrangements). Our route traces part of the historic Paris-Dakar path, starting in Marrakech and climbing into the Atlas Mountains, where we reach altitudes of 2,400 meters before embarking on an exhilarating off-road experience.
Over the course of the week, we cover 1,250 to 1,500 km with enduro bikes, buggies, and 4WD, following exciting and challenging routes off the beaten track, including the magical sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. We drive through multiple traditional settlements and nomadic villages where the original Berbers still live. You will get to know the desert in all its forms. Every day is completely different.
Some of the incredible places we visit on this Sahara Desert motorcycle trip include:
- Boumalne Dades
- Merzouga
- Mhamid el Ghizlane
- Foum Zguid
- Ouarzazate

If the bike, buggie or 4WD becomes unusable due to an accident then you could be doing the rest of the tour in the support vehicle. So please go carefully and take care of our vehicles – and yourselves!
