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.
