FAQS

  • After booking, you will receive a travel security certificate and a packing as well as camping list. From this checklist, you can see what you need for the guided motorcycle trip. Everything else is in the support vehicle.

  • For this motorcycle trip, you have to bring your sleeping bag, sleeping mat, and tent yourself. We will then transport this for you with the motorcycles to Morocco.

  • How the motorcycle should be equipped will be sent to you with the technical list for this motorcycle trip. Usually, knobby tires are sufficient.

  • Delivery of your motorcycle is a week before the start of the motorcycle trip in Tübingen. Here, your motorcycle will be loaded onto the motorcycle transporter and transported 3000 kilometers to Marrakech.

  • You will receive the tour folder for our motorcycle trip from OVERCROSS with a packing list, which describes what you must have in your flight luggage.

  • The best time for motorcycle trips in Morocco is in spring (March-May) and autumn (September-October). Then the temperatures are pleasant, the roads are well passable, and the desert is experienceable without extreme heat or cold.

  • Morocco is considered a relatively safe travel destination. Motorcycle travelers should, however, expect changing road conditions, animals on the road, and partially unpredictable traffic. Riding in groups or with experienced guides significantly increases safety.

  • Yes, the German driver's license is recognized. However, it is recommended to also carry an international driver's license to avoid misunderstandings during police checks or vehicle rentals.

  • The climate varies greatly: mild along the coast, hot inland, and extremely dry in the Sahara. For motorcycle trips, spring and autumn are ideal: warm days and cool nights, especially in the desert and mountain regions.

  • Yes, there is a helmet requirement for drivers and passengers in Morocco. This also applies to our motorcycle trips. High-quality protective clothing is strongly recommended as temperatures, wind, and dust can vary greatly on long stages.

  • A valid passport is sufficient for stays of up to 90 days. Motorcyclists additionally need vehicle documents, proof of insurance ("green card"), and if applicable, a power of attorney if the motorcycle is not registered in their name.

  • Traffic drives on the right. Traffic in cities can be chaotic, while rural roads are sometimes poorly developed. Defensive driving and anticipatory driving are necessary.

  • No, drones are prohibited for private individuals in Morocco. Importing without permission usually leads to confiscation at customs. Aerial photography is only permitted with official special permission from professional providers.

  • Yes, tolls are charged on major highways between cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, and Agadir. Motorcycles usually pay only a fraction of the car rates; side roads and desert routes are toll-free.

  • The price of gasoline is around €1.30/L (Oct. 2025) (diesel about €1.10). In cities, fuel is easily available, but in remote areas, one should refuel in time or carry spare canisters.

  • Traffic checks are frequent and mostly proceed correctly. It is important to adhere to speed limits and have all documents readily available. A friendly demeanor and respect towards officials are a given and facilitate the process.

  • In the desert and the Atlas mountains, there are scorpions, snakes, and stray dogs, which seldom pose a danger to us. Greater risks arise from heat, sandstorms, or sudden rainfall, so always carry enough water and protective clothing.

  • Politeness and restraint are valued. Alcohol in public, provocative clothing, and discussions about religion should be avoided. A friendly "Salam Alaikum" opens doors: Respect for culture and tradition is highly regarded.

  • In larger cities like Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fès, there are well-equipped workshops and dealers. In rural areas, spare parts are harder to obtain.

  • The mobile network is surprisingly well developed, even along many desert routes. In remote areas, however, the signal may fluctuate.

  • You must transport your luggage on your motorcycle, that is correct.

  • Yes, that is correct, you can put ONE bag with tent/sleeping mat and sleeping bag into the transport. It is important to know this due to the luggage system on the motorcycle.

  • You have the luggage system on the motorcycle, and the cases can be strapped together into one luggage piece. If you have problems with the cases during the tour, which has not happened so far, we will certainly find a solution to load these into the support vehicle. The stages are not planned so brutally that one cannot manage most with sport enduros without cases, so everything is in the travel enduro range ;-)
