For its 7th edition, the MARRAKECH TOUR offers you, from October 25 to 31, 2025, an exceptional program that we took great pleasure in recognizing, with many routes never before taken in the North of Marrakech and in the High Atlas.
Always departing from and arriving in Marrakech, the first day will allow you to discover for the first time the famous Ouzoud waterfalls and Lake Bin El Ouidane, then a brand new tarmac road that offers a breathtaking passage among the peaks of the Atlas towards the Todra Gorges.
The fascinating large dunes of Merzouga are not far away.
Return to the West by the roads of the South, between palm groves and thousand-year-old kasbahs. It is then that the unmissable Ouarzazate welcomes us, before discovering the oasis of Fint and the Tichka pass at more than 2000 m of altitude whose titanic works are finally completed.
The last day around Marrakech, the Agafay desert, the Ourika valley will end in the gardens of one of the most iconic palaces in the world… The Mamounia.
The MARRAKECH TOUR is open to collector cars from 1950, with a GT RALLY category for contemporary sports models.
