Roadtrip offered by Jean-Philippe
Adventure travel expert in motorcycle trips in Morocco – Based in Morocco

Ride across Morocco’s landscapes all the way to the ocean.

Leave Marrakech on an adventure bike and quickly climb towards the Aït Bougmez Valley. Guided by Jean-Philippe, who has been designing routes across Morocco for fifteen years, you cross the Tizi Aït Imi, ride at elevations close to 3,000 metres and follow the tracks of the M’Goun Massif to the Dadès Gorges. The journey then shifts to more technical off-road riding across the volcanic terrain of Djebel Siroua, before the Anti-Atlas opens the way to the ocean. After exploring the Atlantic beaches and spending a night within Essaouira’s ramparts, the return to Marrakech crosses the land of argan trees and the Agafay Desert. An adventure where the thrill of riding accompanies every transformation of Morocco, from the high plateaus to the ocean spray.
