The route, stage by stage
Stage 1 > Fes > Midelt (300km)
We begin our adventure leaving Fez, entering the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, with tracks that combine nature and excitement. As we move south, the routes become more technical and challenging, offering spectacular off-road sections before reaching Midelt, a point of rest and recharge for the next stage.
Stage 2 > Midelt > Erfoud (290km)
In this stage we begin to enter the first desert tracks, leaving behind the Atlas Mountains. Some sandy sections test your skill and allow you to enjoy an authentic off-road adventure, as we move towards Erfoud, the gateway to the desert, where we will rest and recharge for the next day.
Stage 3 > ERFOUD > MERZOUGA (120km)
This is a shorter stage, designed to reach Merzouga with enough time to enjoy the afternoon of rest. In the morning, we will travel the tracks around the impressive dunes of Erg Chebbi, with sandy sections that allow you to explore the desert safely. You can test your bike as close to the dunes as you want and enjoy the unique sensation of driving in this magical Sahara environment!
Stage 4 > Merzouga > Dades (320km)
A long and intense stage that combines desert and mountain. In the morning, we will travel part of the Erg Chebbi desert, enjoying its dunes and sandy tracks before heading, at noon, towards the Saghro mountains. We will cross these mountains on a spectacular track from south to north, leaving behind the plains of the desert and entering a landscape of canyons and rocks that will impress all participants.
Stage 5 > Dades > Atlas (280km)
In this stage we begin to head north, leaving behind the Dades gorges and entering the Atlas Mountains again. We will travel spectacular tracks that cross mountainous landscapes and forests, with impressive panoramic views of the Middle Atlas, offering a perfect balance between technical driving and enjoyment of the natural environment.
Stage 6 > ATLAS > FES (190km)
The last stage takes us back to the cedar forests, traveling the last tracks and trails before reaching Fez in the mid-afternoon. It will be a perfect ending to the adventure, with time to rest, share impressions and enjoy the last dinner of the trip, celebrating the farewell and the moments lived throughout the week.
