Who it is for
- Riders who want something genuinely exotic with an instructor at their shoulder
- Anyone who wants to learn sand and dune riding properly rather than by trial and error
- Riders of any level, because the sand sections are optional and there is always a way round
What to expect
Morocco is the wildest expedition we run. You cross the Mediterranean and land in a country where the piste runs straight down a dry riverbed, where children wave at you from the edge of the village and where the mint tea at the roadside stop is sweet enough to make your teeth ache. In a single day you ride a mountain pass and a slice of desert.
Riding sand is a discipline of its own. You cannot learn it from a video: the bike behaves differently, the throttle works differently, and every instinct you brought from the tarmac is actively unhelpful. That is exactly why we ride it with an instructor on the Interphone. He tells you what to do before you enter the section, not after you have got it wrong. The dunes are not compulsory. If you do not fancy them, you ride round, and nobody makes anything of it.
None of which requires you to be an experienced off-road rider. A licence is enough. Four instructors look after a maximum of eight riders, so there is always an extra pair of eyes on everyone: one instructor rides in front of you, one behind. Routes come in four difficulty grades and we split the groups accordingly.
What is and is not in the price
Leave the bike at home. The price covers bike hire (a BMW F 900 GS or R 1300 GS, insured with a minimal excess), all fuel, the instructors and the airport transfers both ways. During the expedition you can swap machines with the instructors, who all speak English, so the Interphone coaching works for you exactly as it does for everyone else.
Flights, accommodation and meals are not included. We are happy to arrange all of them for you, or you can book them yourself. Your call.
Itinerary
Arrival and bike handover
We collect you from the airport, check you in and introduce you to your bike. We set up suspension, kit and Interphone, then ride a shakedown loop.
The stony pistes of the Atlas
A mountain start. Dry riverbeds, rock, hairpins with nothing at the edge. We work on standing position and throttle control on ground that moves under the wheels.
Over the pass and south
The longest stage. Across the Atlas, through mud-brick villages, with a stop for sweet mint tea. In one day the landscape turns from mountain to desert.
Sand and dunes
The day people come to Morocco for. We teach you to ride sand, which is a discipline of its own and nothing like gravel. The dunes are for whoever wants them.
Back through the mountains
A different route home from the one we came in on. In the afternoon we wash the bikes (it takes a while) and hand them back.
Flight home
Transfer to the airport. Photos and video from the whole expedition land in a shared gallery.

FAQ
What is included in the price of an expedition?
Hire of an insured motorcycle (you can swap bikes with the instructors along the way), all fuel, the instructors and airport transfers both ways. Flights, accommodation and meals are not included, but we are happy to arrange them for you. Most expeditions last 6 days (4 riding days), the Portuguese ones 7 days, and Spain can also be ridden as 8 days.
What is not included in the price of an expedition?
Flights, accommodation and meals. Budget for them on top; we are happy to arrange all of them, but they are paid separately. What you do get in the price is hire of an insured motorcycle, all fuel, the instructors and airport transfers both ways.
Do I have to find accommodation for the expedition myself?
No, we arrange it for you, it is simply paid separately. As a rough guide, reckon on about 80 EUR per person per night in a single room and 40 EUR in a shared one, and about 40 and 20 EUR on Spain and Portugal. We confirm the exact price when you book, as it varies with the destination and the date.
How demanding are the expeditions?
We build the routes around the level of the group. We ride at the pace of the slowest rider and nobody is pushed. Previous off-road experience is not needed; riders who have only ever been on tarmac manage perfectly well.
Can I manage an expedition without any off-road experience?
Yes, no experience is needed, we teach you everything. All you need is a motorcycle licence. We adapt the routes to your wishes and riding level. Our expeditions have been ridden by a man who had just passed his test, by a woman with zero off-road experience and by an 11-year-old beginner.
How long does an expedition last?
A standard expedition lasts 6 days, of which 4 are riding days. For Spain, and for Spain with Portugal, you can also choose the longer 8-day version (6 riding days). The Portuguese expeditions (Euphoria, Freedom) last 7 days, of which 5 are riding days.
Can I hire a motorcycle from you?
Yes. We have the largest BMW test fleet in the Czech Republic and bike hire is part of most courses and expeditions. All bikes are insured with a minimal excess. You are also welcome to come on your own machine.
Do you lend me a motorcycle, or do I have to bring my own?
It differs from service to service. Experience rides: we lend the bikes, you go through five of them during the ride. Off-road training: 5 500 CZK on your own bike, 8 800 CZK with our BMW. Weekend off-road training: 13 000 CZK on your own, 18 000 CZK with our BMW. Private race track training: you ride your own motorcycle, ours can be arranged in advance for an extra charge. Private off-road training: bike hire is included. Expeditions: the bike and all fuel are included.
