3 Days — Morocco Motorcycle Adventure
A short but intense motorcycle adventure through some of Morocco's most spectacular landscapes.
Tour Overview
Three days is enough to understand what Morocco feels like from the seat of a motorcycle. You leave Marrakech in the early morning, climb into the High Atlas, cross Tizi n'Tichka and spend the middle of the day on the winding mountain roads above the Ourika valley. By the time you reach Ouarzazate the landscape has already changed twice — from green mountain slopes to red earth and dry plains.
