7 day arrangement of which 5 full days Desert Riding
This tour is highly recommended for enduro bikers who love to ride sand dunes. You’ll be riding a KTM off-road bike, excellent for this kind of work. Guiding is done by GPS on the handle bars. A detailed track on the GPS screen shows you exactly where to go. We ride an average of 170kms per day from which 95% off-road. Our 4×4 pick-up truck follows the same track for quick assistance when needed. In case of a puncture our mechanic repairs your tire in no-time… help is appreciated.
On board the 4×4 service vehicle we carry;
160L fuel, supplies, air-compressor, tubes, tires, spares, tubes, tools, fridge and your personal luggage
To maximize your enjoyment you should have some experience in handling an off road bike.
Tour description:
Right after leaving the hotel in Ouarzazate we’re on the track. It leads us south, crossing the 1500m high Jebel Bani mountain range. In Foum-zguid we spend the night in a mid-class hotel with swimming pool and air-conditioning. It’s a clean cozy place run by a friendly family which we know for many years. The next morning, after breakfast and filling up fuel we head-out into the desert. Not far from the village a smooth track leads us south towards the Algerian border.
Thanks to our 30 years of Morocco experience we know how to avoid most of the stony parts. We move straight over the flat plains of the dry Iriki Lake in order to reach the largest dune area of Morocco, Erg Chegaga. Here we all find our way up to the highest dune top. Sand as far as the eye can see. We bivouac in luxurious Berber tents (with showers) at the foot of the dunes. Next day we pass through the Erg Lehoudi sand dunes just north of Mhamid and arrive early in the afternoon at a *** star hotel in Zagora. Here we take time to relax beside the swimming pool enjoying a cool drink. After all… we are on a holiday.
From Zagora we head north east through the mountains towards Tazzarine. Hotel for that night is located beside a (dry?) river bed. The last riding day will not be all off-road; after more than 100km fast gravel tracks a 60km winding mountain-road section brings us back to Ouarzazate.
