8 Days · Agadir → Casablanca
A relaxed eight-day ride from Agadir to Casablanca along Morocco's Atlantic shore — empty coastal sweepers, the harbours of Essaouira and El Jadida, the Oualidia oyster lagoon — then a taste of the Atlas foothills before Casablanca. A scenic ocean-to-city route, and it runs in either direction.
This tour is built for riders who love the sea more than the sand. Over eight days you trace Morocco's Atlantic littoral from Agadir north to Casablanca, trading the desert for the smell of salt, the cry of gulls and long, flowing roads that run out to the horizon. You ride the white-and-blue medina of Essaouira, the surf village of Imssouane, the fortified port of Safi and the oyster beds of Oualidia, then loop inland through the green foothills of the Atlas before the final run into Casablanca. The final daily stages, pace and pillion arrangements are confirmed with you before booking.
Approximate distances, riding time, surfaces and the experience you'll want before you book.
These are planning figures, not fixed contractual distances. The final route can change with weather, roadworks, piste conditions and your group.
A typical daily plan. We adjust it for weather, your pace and any must-see requests.
Arrive in Agadir and settle into the accommodation confirmed for your itinerary. If an airport transfer is included, it is arranged in advance. If motorcycle rental is part of your booking, the handover takes place before riding; your guide then explains the route, terrain and important practical information. A short Corniche shakedown ride can be considered if timing allows.
Head north on quiet coastal roads past Tamri and the surf break at Imssouane, then on to Essaouira. Time to walk the UNESCO medina, the skala sea bastion and the working harbour before sunset.
A free day off the schedule in Essaouira. Wander the UNESCO medina and its ramparts, watch the blue sardine boats unload at the working harbour, or simply sit out on the beach. For anyone who would rather be riding, there is an optional short loop south to Diabat and the laid-back surf village of Sidi Kaouki, easily done in a morning. Bikes get a check-over either way, and the afternoon is yours.
Ride north along cliffs and fishing villages to Safi, known for its pottery and fortified port, then continue to the calm lagoon of Oualidia, famous for oysters. Taste them at a lagoon-side table.
Follow the coast to the white-and-blue town of Azemmour and on to El Jadida, a Portuguese fortified city. Visit the underground cistern made famous on film and wander the ramparts above the sea.
Leave the coast and climb into the green foothills of the Atlas, through vineyards and the riverside kasbah of Boulaouane, then loop back down to the shore as the light softens for a second night in El Jadida.
A relaxed run north along the coast and through Mohammedia to Casablanca. Depending on timing we visit the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest in the world, before a farewell dinner.
A relaxed final morning with no scheduled riding. After breakfast, complete any motorcycle return included in your rental arrangement and the final luggage check. If an airport transfer is included in your confirmed itinerary, it is scheduled around your flight; extra nights or onward travel can also be arranged on request.
You can ride your own motorcycle or ask us about current rental options. Motorcycle rental can be arranged for your tour, and the available motorcycles, availability and rental conditions are confirmed with you before booking.
A 4x4 support vehicle can be added to your tour on request. It can carry luggage and equipment, provide additional logistical support and accommodate non-riding companions. We can advise whether a support vehicle is useful for your itinerary, and the final setup is confirmed in your personalised quotation.
Hand-picked riads, boutique hotels and coastal stays chosen for comfort, character and location — from Essaouira's medina guesthouses to a lagoon-view room in Oualidia. Standards (and the occasional upgrade) can be adjusted on request.
Meal arrangements depend on your itinerary. Breakfast and dinner are included at selected stages where meals are arranged with the accommodation. Your personalised itinerary clearly shows which meals are included. Vegetarian, halal and other dietary needs can be catered for — just tell us when you enquire.

A general guide by season — we confirm the ideal window when you book.
The Atlantic coast has its own rhythm: soft light and green headlands in spring, long settled autumns, cool wet winters and breezy summers when the trade winds pick up. The notes below are a general guide — we confirm the best window and plan rides around the wind when you book.
Mild, breezy and green; the most comfortable coastal riding and wildflowers on the headlands. A popular window; availability varies by date.
Warm, stable and generally less windy than summer; ideal for long, relaxed days along the shore.
Cool and sometimes wet on the coast, with clear, quiet riding days between fronts. Pack a waterproof shell and warm layers.
Warm and breezy; the coastal wind can be strong, so we time rides for calmer mornings and evenings and keep the pace easy.
