The Dirty Weekend Morocco

Description

The Dirty Weekend returns to Morocco with an all new itinerary! Join us from February 26th – March 1st 2026.

We’ve kicked things up a notch for 2026 and are going all out to make this the most adventurous and best value off-road experience on the market. You’ll arrive in Marrakech and be taken by pre arranged transfer to our desert bivouac just outside of Ouarzazate. On day two you’ll ride from Ouarzazate to Foum Zguid where we will spend the next two nights in a desert oasis hotel complete with swimming pool. There will be a days riding in the Foum Zguid area, where you can access the dunes, and then the final day of riding will see us return to our bivouac outside Ouarzazate. Transfers will depart to Marrakech the following morning.

Separate routes will be provided for beginners, intermediates, and adventure bikes, so you can tailor your adventure to suit your bike and your ability. All routes are planned by our partners, Wilderness Wheels, who have many years experience running motorcycle tours in Morocco.

As always, you can expect incredible local food each night and breakfast each morning. We also have traditional entertainment at the bivouac on night one and a closing party on the final night.

This is a self guided adventure and you will need to be able to navigate yourself using a GPX file that we provide. You can do this using your phone but need to consider mounting and charging options. It is best if more than one member of your group comes prepared to navigate. We will have sweep riders, mechanics, and a paramedic but throughout the day you will be riding at your own pace, following your own directions, and need to be self sufficient. You need to arrange travel insurance for this trip, without it you are putting yourself at risk of incurring enormous medical bills or staying in sub standard medical facilities.

We have way more dirt bike rentals available (KTM 450) and can arrange this for you at a cost of €600 (paid directly to the rental company) for three days of riding. Please select this option when checking out, there is a £50 fee for us to organise this for you. You’re welcome to ride your own bike or rent from a third party, there are a lot of rental agencies in Marrakech specialising in off road, trail, and adventure bikes, and it is a beautiful ride from Marrakech to Ouarzazate.

We’re also including a free T-shirt for every rider this year. Please include your T-shirt size.
