Best Time for This Enduro Tour in Morocco

The best season for an enduro motorcycle tour in southern Morocco is from October to April, when daytime temperatures are comfortable for riding. Spring and autumn are ideal.

The tour starts and ends in Ouarzazate, which has its own airport with connections to Casablanca. Ouarzazate is also about a four-hour drive from Marrakech across the High Atlas. We can arrange a private transfer from Marrakech on request.
