6 Day Enduro Desert Tour
(2 day loops plus 4 day expedition)
Six days of riding and exploring some of the wildest contrasts the Moroccan desert has to offer. Expect endless tracks through rocky stone deserts, winding canyons, raw riverbeds, and vast lake flats that make you feel like you’re conquering a new planet.
The highlight? The remote dune sea of Erg Chegaga, where we’ll tackle up to 60 meter dunes, camp under starry skies, and experience the kind of silence you only find far off the grid. This tour is all about having fun while riding with people who share the same passion and immersing in raw landscapes. It’s about meaningful connection, not just with the terrain, but with the culture. Expect authentic Moroccan meals that fuel the ride and feed the soul. In the evening, when the engines go quiet, we sit together and share stories. Sometimes even around the fire with traditional Moroccan music. Are you ready for the kind of adventure that stays with you long after the dust settles?
I built this tour to share the kind of riding that changed everything for me. The places that made my heart race and my mind go quiet. Together with Wilderness Wheels, I can finally open this chapter to others, and take you along into the parts of Morocco that stole my heart.

Riding level
The routes I’ve planned together with enduro tour agency Wilderness Wheels are designed to be 70 to 90% offroad, just the way we like it. So get ready for a dusty face, sandy boots, and most importantly, unforgettable memories. Every tour can be adjusted to your level and shaped around the group's preferences. But expect to be thrown a little out of your comfort zone :). The good thing about Morocco? We can ride pretty much anywhere and have endless options. If you want to slow it down, we can usually always switch to easier tracks. And if you’re still full of energy at the end of the day or want more techy stuff, we’ll just keep going until the sun drops.
The Tour
Day 1 – Riverbed Rides to Warm Up
Ouarzazate – Oasis Fint – Ouarzazate
(50 - 140km)
We start at the Wilderness Wheels base in Ouarzazate and follow gravel tracks into a wide, flowing riverbed that takes us straight to the hidden oasis of Fint. After a lunch break under the palms, we ride out to explore an abandoned film set that only few know about.
Day 2 – Movie Trails & Canyon Exploration
Ouarzazate – Anmiter – Ouarzazate
(100 - 160km)
We kick off day two with gravel tracks and dried-out riverbeds leading us toward the edge of the Atlas Mountains. A cinematic gravel route follows the mountain slopes and takes us into the Ounila Valley. A canyon-like road winding through Berber villages all the way to one of Morocco’s most iconic film locations, Ksar Aït-Ben-Haddou. Since Ouarzazate is Morocco’s movie capital, we of course dive deeper into its film history. After a relaxed lunch, we ride fast gravel sections and explore a few more hidden sets used in productions like Gladiator, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones – the perfect way to wrap up a legendary day.
Day 3 – Going east over the Anti-Atlas
Ouarzazate – Zagora
(250km)
After a short road stretch, we hit the dirt, starting with a flowy track through the beautiful Anti-Atlas hills that gets rougher and more technical as we go. A steep mountain pass (rocky if it’s been raining) wraps up the morning before we stop for a picnic on the trail. In the afternoon, the landscape shifts into dramatic canyons and we follow a fun piste through ancient mud villages before we hop on the road for the last bit to end our day in Zagora (there is a pool to cool off!). This city is known for its skilled mechanics and legendary garages that have supported riders since the days when the Paris-Dakar Rally still passed through this part of Morocco. Many travelers still stop here to get their bikes patched up, or just to soak in the rally spirit. So after dinner, we usually end the day with Moroccan tea and stories shared with the local mechanics.
Day 4 – Deep into the desert
Zagora – Erg Chegaga Desert Camp
(130km)
We start the day with a scenic ride up Jbel Zagora – a 300 meter mountain right next to Zagora with epic views over the Draa Valley and the desert stretching out behind it. From there, we hit old rally tracks heading south, perfect for getting comfortable with speed and stability. After a picnic lunch while the bikes get refueled, we ride west on fast, flowing pistes straight into the dunes of Chegaga. Once we arrive at the desert camp, it’s time to kick back in the shade with some cold drinks before heading out for dune practice later in the afternoon. After enjoying the sunset on up to 60m dunes, we gather for dinner at the camp. But it wouldn’t be a real camp without a campfire, right? So when the Tuareg drums start calling, we gather around the fire to fully soak in the desert atmosphere.
Day 5 – Over dunes and salt flats
Erg Chegaga Desert Camp – Foum Zguid
(120km)
If you're up early, catch the desert sunrise – it's worth it. After breakfast and gearing up, we can play a bit more in the dunes before continuing west. The sandy tracks will lead us through some of the most remote parts of the desert. Once we leave the dune field behind, the vast dry lakebed of Lac Iriki opens up, inviting you to find out how fast your KTM can really go. A place called the “Titanic” will be our remote oasis for lunch, before we follow an old Dakar track all the way into Foum Zguid, where a delicious dinner buffet and a hotel pool await.
Day 6 – Back north over the Anti-Atlas
Foum-Zguid – Ouarzazate
(200km)
Final day, but we’re not slowing down just yet. After a short road section, we hit the Anti-Atlas where the tracks get wild and the views even wilder. We ride into a deep gorge where Berber villagers grow dates in the shade of the cliffs – our last stop for shade before we climb high. And I mean high. The trails cling to the side of this ancient mountain range and just keep going. A steep descent and fast-paced tracks bring us to Tazenakht for a well-earned lunch. Then, a smooth, sweeping gravel track takes us back to Ouarzazate with smiles under the helmets.
Drop off the bikes, take a well earned shower, and later we’ll meet up for a final dinner. Last team photo, last story swap, and if you feel like it, last chance to buy your guide a beer :).
