About your trip

Starting from the vibrant city of Marrakech, we ride through winding roads to the coastal charm of Essaouira, where the ocean breeze meets ancient ramparts. From there, we head south to Taroudant, the “Little Marrakech,” surrounded by majestic walls and the scent of citrus groves.

Our journey takes us deeper into the heart of Morocco, across remote landscapes to Foum Zguid, a gateway to the desert’s vast horizons. We then ascend into the Atlas Mountains toward Boumalne Dadès, where dramatic gorges and breathtaking curves await.

The adventure continues to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, a legendary kasbah steeped in history and cinematic fame. Finally, we return to Marrakech through spectacular mountain passes, carrying memories of diverse landscapes, warm hospitality, and authentic Moroccan culture.

About your organizer

Butterfly Motorcycle Tours in Morocco began more than 20 years ago when Réda Jabri, a Moroccan native, after 5 years with an international audit and consultancy firm, decided to make a radical career change. “The various assignments I have carried out throughout Morocco as an auditor have enabled me to discover just how many treasures and wonders my country abounds in, so it seemed obvious to me that sharing these treasures was going to become my new career path”.
