MOROCCO COLLECTION: CITIES OF ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS MOTORCYCLE TOUR

Considered by travelers as one of the most fascinating countries in North Africa, due to the variety of landscapes that define it, which is impossible to find elsewhere, all in one destination.

In a succession of scenes from One Thousand and One Nights: an expedition in the land of the great Empire.

The charm of its imperial cities, the majestic Atlas Mountains with its alpine landscapes, the vast and rich valleys of the fortified Ksar, and thousands of tiny villages will take us back in time.

It is one of the most intense journeys you can undertake due to the different social and cultural aspects that will amaze with its unpredictability, yet compensating with its beauty, territory, culture, and surprising encounters thanks to a people of mixed Arab-Berber-African descent. Ethnic groups that live together without problems.

Not to mention the delicious typical cuisine with the ever-present "Tajine" (beef, lamb stew, or vegetables) and the very pleasant breaks for relaxation in the typical hammams.

And of course, the numerous architectural styles brought by foreigners, ranging from rudimentary decorations to the more refined and luxurious ones of colorful tiles.

You will be accompanied by a guide who will take you on a discovery of Morocco, along with a support van, ready to intervene if needed.
