Our motorcycle adventure through Morocco began with our arrival in Rabat, where we rode through its majestic avenues and marveled at the imposing Kasbah of the Udayas and the historic Hassan Tower. After this first encounter with Moroccan culture, we headed south towards Marrakech, where the vibrant Jemaa el-Fna square welcomed us with its unmistakable bustle of sounds, colors, and aromas.
From Marrakech, we ventured into the Atlas Mountains, taking on the challenging Col du Tichka, a mountain pass that tested us with its winding route and postcard-worthy landscapes. The journey to Ait Ben Haddou was rewarded with the majesty of its historic kasbah, a setting that seemed to be from another era. Continuing along the route, we headed towards Kalaat N’Gouna, where the green of the Rose Valley contrasted with the ochre tones of the nearby desert, gifting us one of the most scenic roads of the trip.
The desert of Merzouga was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our route. After miles of asphalt, the vastness of the dunes took our breath away. We left the motorcycles behind for a moment to ride camels and experience the magic of the Sahara with an unforgettable sunset. The journey continued towards Midelt, crossing the majestic Ziz Valley, where the mountains and oases intertwined in a changing and fascinating landscape.
Further north, the historic Mequinez welcomed us with its relaxed atmosphere and its stunning Bab Mansour, an architectural gem reflecting the splendor of this ancient imperial city. The journey culminated in Chefchaouen, the iconic blue city, where its cobblestone streets and tranquil atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop to close our journey.
Every kilometer traveled gifted us unique experiences, from the thrill of the road to the hospitality of the people and the beauty of the landscapes. Morocco surprised us at every turn, leaving us with unforgettable memories and the certainty that this will not be our last adventure on two wheels in this fascinating country.
