You'll pick up your KTM bike and gear from the shop, then ride 75km on tarmac to where the dirt tracks begin.

There's a picnic lunch set up on the trail, and then you'll work through canyon-like terrain before dropping down into the Draa Valley with a dramatic descent. The final stretch takes you through ancient mud-walled villages or you can follow the support vehicle on road to reach your hotel in Zagora.
