Overview
A 2-hour evening ride through Marrakech in a vintage-style sidecar — the lit ramparts, the Koutoubia, Gueliz boulevards and a tea or sunset stop — with your own pilot.
Marrakech is at its most magical after dark, when the heat lifts and the ramparts and minarets glow amber. We put you in the sidecar of a classic-style motorcycle with an experienced local pilot and weave through the parts of the city you'd never reach on foot — the floodlit medina walls, the Koutoubia mosque, the palm-lined avenues of Gueliz and the leafy palmery.
We pause for sunset photos and a mint tea, and time the loop so you finish at the edge of Jemaa el-Fnaa as the night market hits full swing. It's a relaxed, wind-in-your-hair way to fall for the city — helmets, blankets and a friendly guide all provided.

Frequently asked
Questions about this tour.
Is "Marrakech by Night — Vintage Sidecar" private or a group tour?
100% private. Just you and the people you book with — your own driver, vehicle and pace from start to finish. We never pool travellers.
Can I change the dates or itinerary?
Yes. Every itinerary is a starting point. Add a day, swap a riad, change the start city — we'll re-quote in 24 hours and lock the price in writing before any deposit.
How fit do I need to be?
Easy. Light walking on medina cobblestones, plus optional activities you can opt in or out of on the day.
When should I book?
For high season (Oct–Apr) and any trip involving the Sahara or hot-air balloon, book 8–12 weeks ahead. Last-minute (under 14 days) is usually still possible with a phone call.
