Help with six days route in Morocco

Hi Hubbers
So now that you guys helped me sort out maps of Morocco I am starting planing of the trip.

We have six days on the bikes starting from Marrakesh. I have been to Morocco before but that trip was not as off-road/pist oriented as we wish this one to be.

We are all fairly experienced and going on Honda Tornado 250's (i think Tornado was the name...).

On my wish list for places to see on the way is Erfoud, Merzouga and maybe Zagora.

Do you guys and girls have any good feedback for a generel route and/or places we should visit on the way?

Thanks!

Hi,
I visit Marocco in 2010. We had nearly 14 days.
We start in Nador/Melilla and drove down to Erfoud and Erg Chebbi in two days. You should visit Erg Chebbi it was fantastic. From Erfoud we go drove Zagora in two days (702/N10), stay overnight in Nekob. It should be possible in one day. We done a day trip to Zagora/Merzouga. Gone north to Quarzazate. Visit Dades Tal and Todra, each takes one days from Skoura, near Quarzazate. After that we visit Ouzoud Falls, north of Demnate, direction Fes.
(very nice Falls. visit if possible)
So, if you have one week, to go from Marrakesh, it should be possible to go Zagora and Erfoud and back to Marrakesh.

Have a nice trip

Hi Nick

6 days will be short, but doable if you start from Melila / Nador.

Melila->Plateau du Rekham (Rchida to Debdou)->Tendrara->Boudnib - one day by dirt and asphalt roads
Boudnib -> Merzouga = one day by dirt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6keD3YShh0
Merzouga -> Mhamid - one day by dirt and sand

3 days one way. 3 days to return. 6 days is short.
