2. When you cross Morocco by motorcycle, you must stamp your passport. This is at the entrance and exit of the country. You must ensure the expiration date of your passport, as it must be more than 6 months. If this is not the case, you must renew your passport before leaving the country.
3. If it is your first time going to Morocco, you must register your passport at the country’s entrance. Do not worry. The customs agents will tell you what you must do for the procedure.

Motorcycle documents

If you travel to Morocco by motorcycle, you must temporarily import the motorcycle. For this procedure, you need to present the following documentation:

1. Registration license under the driver’s name

Travel to Morocco on a motorcycle rented by a company or another person. If possible, you must bring a rental contract or authorization signed by the motorcycle owner to a notary’s office to avoid potential problems.

As you are going to go by motorcycle in Morocco, the first thing you should do is to take the bike to the workshop for a complete overhaul, where the brakes, tires, transmission, chains and other essential elements are checked;

Excursions in Morocco can take the motorcycle for around 2000 kilometers and even more. In addition, you must consider that on many motorcycle trips, you will have to go through unpaved roads, and therefore, the bike may suffer a little.

I recommend that you take a tool kit with you, and of course, ideally, you should have some basic knowledge of motorcycle mechanics; this way, you will be able to solve the mechanical problems yourself on your motorcycle vacations, whether it is the chain coming off or a flat tire.

Motorcycle routes that can be done in Morocco

If you travel through Morocco by motorcycle on asphalt, you will find a gas station every 150 kilometers to have no problems with refueling. But it would be best if you were foresighted with this.

If you are more adventurous and prefer to go around Morocco on a motorcycle in the middle of rocky roads and lots of dirt, you should always be clear about where you are going on each trip to Morocco. This way, you will also know what to take with you.

Which clothes should I bring to travel to Morocco by motorcycle?

The clothing you pack to go to Morocco by motorcycle will depend on the time of the year you decide to make your trip:

If you travel between mid-September and early May, you should bring something closed and preferably waterproof. You can not miss shorts, long pants, short and long sleeve shirts, and a jacket to avoid getting cold at night.

When you make the trip to Morocco by motorcycle in winter, you should not miss the long sleeves and jacket as a windbreaker. Consider that the desert winds can reach 0 degrees.

If you travel in late May or mid-September, you should take your summer clothes and a raincoat, just as prevention. (March, April and May are months in which the heat begins to be felt during the day, although in March it is still a little cold at night and also perhaps the first days of April, from then on it is generally comfortable and light summer clothes and maybe until mid-May some warm clothes in case it gets cooler at night).

End of October (it starts to cool down at night), November, December, January and February, especially these last months it is usually quite cold, especially in inland cities and in the desert, with snowfall being common especially in mountainous areas and atlas.
