A unique experience in the heart of the Moroccan desert
This intensive 5-day course is designed for riders who want to learn rally navigation using a specific roadbook in the desert. Gain independence while discovering Morocco’s fast tracks and dunes. This format combines technical training, hands-on practice, and immersion in the world of rally raids. This course is aimed at experienced off-road motorcycle riders who want support before embarking on their first rally. The goal is to develop your driving skills and work on reading the roadbook.
The course allows you to ride on a wide variety of terrain typical of southern Morocco: fast, stony, sandy, and off-road tracks. Participants learn to adapt their riding according to grip, visibility, and terrain reading. Specific sessions are devoted to crossing dunes and anticipating desert-specific hazards. This is an opportunity to progress in a demanding but supervised environment.
You will be trained to use an electronic roadbook in a real-world environment, including dunes, off-road terrain, and cap navigation. The focus is on effectively reading hazards, validating waypoints, and adopting an appropriate navigation strategy. Practical exercises will help you develop quick reflexes, avoid common errors, and become more fluent in interpreting the roadbook. Thanks to daily debriefings, you will progress step by step towards precise, independent, and safe navigation.
Theoretical and practical workshops on mechanics will be held to teach you how to maintain your motorcycle before, during, and after a stage. You will be guided through common troubleshooting and the essential actions to ensure the reliability of your machine. The workshops cover the basics of field mechanics: chain, filters, wiring, tightening, punctures, etc. The goal is to develop your autonomy and responsiveness to unforeseen events.
This course is also a timeless interlude, spent among enthusiasts, in the wide open spaces of southern Morocco. The paddock, evening briefings, and successful crossings create group cohesion. Far from the stress of everyday life, you'll enjoy an immersive experience where mutual support, exchanges, and adventure take on their full meaning. This stay is as much an inner journey as it is a technical development.
