Erg Chigaga dunes, Sahara, Morocco — the scale a 2-day gravel overnight reaches

The Best 2-Day Gravel Tours in Morocco

A 2-day overnight is the smallest multi-day step — one night in a guesthouse or camp, two riding days, and a real taste of Moroccan gravel travel. We run 9 overnights across the Atlas, the Ounila corridor, the Dades–Todra, the Draa and the coast. Here is how to choose.

Why a 2-day overnight

A day tour shows you the surface; an overnight shows you the country. Two riding days with a night in between lets you reach deeper into a valley, sleep in a kasbah or a desert camp, and ride a different landscape on day two — without committing to a full expedition. See how many days you need.

By region

Marrakech to the Atlas

The best first overnight. Ride from the Marrakech foothills into the Ouirgane or Ourika valley, sleep in a mountain guesthouse, ride back a different way. Try the Marrakech–Atlas foothills overnight or the Marrakech–Ouirgane overnight.

The Ounila corridor

The classic kasbah overnight: Telouet’s Glaoui kasbah, the Ounila Valley Piste, and the UNESCO ksar of Ait Benhaddou. The Ounila–Telouet–Ait Benhaddou overnight.

Dades–Todra & Draa

Canyon country and palm oases, at their best in winter. The Dades–Todra overnight, the Draa valley overnight, and the Sahara edge overnight.

Coast

A different Morocco — cliff-top pistes and argan forest. The Essaouira overnight.

What is included

A guide, vehicle support, one night’s accommodation (guesthouse, kasbah or desert camp), all meals from lunch day one to lunch day two, water and snacks. Bike rental optional. Read self-guided vs guided and the holidays guide.
