Overview

Sidecar Ride Through Agafay Desert

Vintage Adventure Meets Moroccan Wonder


Overview

Step back in time with a vintage sidecar ride through the surreal, rocky expanse of the Agafay Desert. This is not your average desert excursion — it’s an elegant blend of retro flair, cultural immersion, and breathtaking landscapes, all wrapped up in one unforgettable journey.

With the wind in your hair and an expert guide at the handlebars, you’ll glide past Berber villages, arid plains, and dramatic stone ridges, all from the cozy cocoon of a restored motorcycle sidecar. Whether you’re a history buff, photography lover, or adventurer at heart, this 6-hour sidecar safari delivers Morocco from a new perspective — relaxed, intimate, and totally unique.


Why This Tour is One of a Kind

🏍️ Retro Riding Reimagined

Sidecars are more than just cool—they offer a comfortable, stable, and low-profile way to take in the sights. Perfect for pairs or solo explorers, it’s the ideal way to journey off the beaten path while staying stylish.

🏜️ An Alternative Desert Landscape

The Agafay Desert offers lunar-like scenery and open, wide trails. You won’t find towering dunes here—but the dramatic stone hills, riverbeds, and olive groves deliver cinematic views and ultimate tranquility.

🏡 Cultural Encounters

Visit Berber villages and meet locals along the route. Sip traditional mint tea, witness artisanal practices, and enjoy the authenticity of Moroccan rural life without tourist crowds.

🏔️ The Atlas on the Horizon

Ride through paths that offer sweeping vistas of the High Atlas Mountains, often snowcapped during cooler months. It’s the perfect contrast to the golden, sun-baked terrain of Agafay.

Stories Worth Traveling For

Plan With Confidence

Booking & Customization

We believe your journey should reflect your interests, pace, and personality — not a one-size-fits-all itinerary. All of our tours are private and tailor-made, meaning we’ll design the route, experiences, and accommodations around you.

Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, planning a spiritual retreat, or traveling as a family, our team will shape your itinerary with intention and care.
We recommend reserving your trip at least 1–3 months in advance, especially during spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), which are peak travel seasons in Morocco.

Want to adjust your itinerary mid-journey? We’re flexible — just let your travel coordinator know.

What to pack

Morocco’s landscapes are diverse — you might be in the High Atlas Mountains one day and the Sahara Desert the next. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Comfortable walking shoes (for exploring medinas, kasbahs, and uneven terrain)

  • Layered clothing: temperatures can vary widely between day and night

  • A light scarf or shawl for sun, wind, or modest dress at religious sites

  • Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat — Morocco is sunny year-round

  • A small overnight bag for your desert camp (you can leave your luggage with the driver)

  • Power adapter (Morocco uses Type C and E plugs, 220V)

We’ll send you a personalized packing list once your booking is confirmed.

Travel documents

To enter Morocco, most travelers only need a valid passport. However, keep the following in mind:

  • Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

  • No visa is required for stays up to 90 days for most nationalities (including the US, EU, UK, Canada, and Australia).

  • Always carry a photocopy of your passport when out and about, especially when visiting smaller towns or rural areas.

If you need assistance with entry requirements, our team is happy to help.

Desert Experience Tips

An overnight stay in the Sahara Desert is a highlight of nearly every Moroccan itinerary — but it’s unlike anything you’ve done before. Here’s how to make the most of it:

  • You’ll ride camels to your luxury desert camp (about 45–60 minutes).

  • Your main luggage stays with the driver; bring a small overnight bag.

  • Desert temperatures can drop significantly after sunset — bring warm layers.

  • Expect Berber drum music, bonfires, and stargazing under a vast sky.

  • All camps we use are private, en-suite, and high-comfort — this is not roughing it.

Let us know in advance if you prefer a 4×4 transfer to the camp instead of camel trekking.

Meals & Dietary Needs

Moroccan cuisine is deeply flavorful, locally sourced, and easy to adapt. Here’s what to expect:

  • Breakfast is included at all accommodations

  • Dinners are included in remote areas (like the Sahara, Dades Valley, or rural riads)

  • Lunches are at your own leisure and often taken on the road at scenic or local stops

We can accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences and restrictions with prior notice, including:

  • Vegetarian & Vegan

  • Halal & Kosher

  • Gluten-free or allergy-conscious diets

We’ll make sure your meals are not only safe, but delicious.

Accommodations

We handpick every property for its charm, authenticity, comfort, and service. Your stays may include:

  • Traditional riads in the medinas of Fes or Marrakesh

  • Luxury desert camps with en-suite bathrooms and premium bedding

  • Boutique hotels with panoramic views, gardens, or historical architecture

All accommodations are locally owned or heritage-driven, and reflect the soul of Moroccan hospitality. Your itinerary can include upgrades to premium or 5-star properties upon request.

Transportation

You’ll travel in style and comfort with:

  • A private, air-conditioned vehicle (4×4, minivan, or executive car, depending on group size)

  • An English- or Spanish-speaking driver-guide experienced in long-distance travel

  • Door-to-door service including airport transfers

  • All fuel, road tolls, and parking included

Need an extra stop, a scenic detour, or a bit more time at a location? Just ask your driver.

Local Guides

To enrich your experience, we include expert-guided walking tours in culturally rich cities like Fes, Marrakesh, and occasionally Chefchaouen or Rabat. These guides are:

  • Licensed professionals with deep knowledge of local history, culture, and architecture

  • Passionate storytellers who help you interpret Morocco beyond the surface

  • Fluent in English, French, Spanish, and sometimes other languages

If you’d like private guides in additional locations or for specific themes (photography, art, religion), we can arrange that.

Connectivity & SIM Cards

While many travelers enjoy unplugging, we understand staying connected matters:

  • Most accommodations offer complimentary Wi-Fi

  • If you need internet on the go, we can help you purchase a local SIM card with data upon arrival

  • eSIMs for Morocco are also available via apps like Airalo

Your driver can also assist in finding mobile stores if needed.

24/7 On-the-Ground Support

From the moment you land to the day you depart, we’re by your side — literally and virtually.

  • You’ll have a dedicated travel concierge reachable via WhatsApp or phone throughout your journey

  • Whether you need dinner reservations, assistance with your accommodation, or an impromptu itinerary change — we’re one message away

  • In the rare case of an emergency or flight change, our local team is responsive and resourceful

This isn’t just customer service. It’s hospitality without limits.

What Our Travelers Say

Moments That Leave a Mark

Every journey we craft is more than a trip—it’s a deeply personal story written across Morocco’s landscapes. From the warmth of our guides to the magic of each itinerary, our travelers leave not just with souvenirs, but with memories etched into the soul. Here’s what just one of our guests had to say about their unforgettable experience with us.

“Adventure Scope Travel exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, every detail was perfectly arranged. The desert camp in Agafay was beyond magical, and our private guide in Fes made the city come alive. It felt like the entire country had opened its arms just for us. I can’t wait to come back.”
