I'm off again this time on a motorbike tour of Morocco. This is what is promised on the tour, hopefully it will live up to this.
On this bike tour you will experience first hand the different facets and intersting contradictions of Morocco. Far away from the beaten track you will be on the road, where the country is still authentic and realize the dream to ride the african continent on motorcycle. Along the roads of the Rif mountains, you reach the old imperial city of Fez, which is, with its massive walls and mighty gates, one of the largest medieval cities in the world that is still inhabited.
From here you start the first mountain stages and cross the Middle Atlas with its thousand-year-old cedar forests and then the High Atlas, where still today Berbers, the natives of Morocco, live as nomads. You will reach the oases at the largest sand desert of Morocco, the Erg Chebbi, where you linger for a day and discover the secrets of the desert.
On unforgettable motorcycle tracks you admire the natural spectacle of the Gorges of Todra and Dades in the South of the High Atlas and continue the road via Ouarzazate to the caravan check point of Ait Benhaddou, whose entire centre has been recognized by Unesco as a World Heritage Site.
The crossing of the High Atlas to Marrakech is one of the most beautiful rides in the life of a motorcyclist. The single-track and very winding road leads through scenic and touristy little developed areas. The Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, awaits you here with a fascinating panorama.
You reach Marrakesh, former capital and famous for its markets and festivals. The lively beating heart of the city is the large square Djemaa el-Fna in the old town. To the north you cross the Moroccan hills and reach the Atlantic coast, where Casablanca and Rabat are, and you leave the African continent over the port of Tangiers.
