It begins where the ocean never stays still — with wind, salt, and narrow streets that seem to lead somewhere unexpected.

In Essaouira, you move slowly at first, through white walls and soft light. Then the rhythm shifts. You ride out into open land — through argan trees, across dunes, along empty beaches where the Atlantic runs beside you. Days unfold between movement and stillness: a picnic in the middle of nowhere, a quiet villa under the stars, the sound of hooves on sand. The journey continues inland, toward Marrakech and further south, where clay villages rise from the earth and the light changes everything. In Aït Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate, landscapes feel almost unreal, shaped by history, cinema, and silence.

The route is designed to flow easily — private transfers, small stays, and time to ride, rest, and look around. If Morocco has been calling in the background for a while, this is your moment to follow it — join us on the trail.

Route details

Day 1
Arrival in Essaouira and Free Time in the Medina

Arrive in Essaouira, a relaxed coastal town known for its artistic vibe and ocean air. The old medina, listed by UNESCO, is full of narrow streets, small galleries, and sea views. The city also appeared in Game of Thrones as Astapor.

You’ll be transferred to your riad in the center. The rest of the day is yours — walk through the medina, explore cafés, or simply take in the atmosphere of this easygoing seaside town.
