Marrakech by vintage side-car

Medina, Guéliz, palm grove · private · 1 hr 30 to 3 hrs · 2 passengers max
Price£93

The signature experience, and it comes at a price: sat in the sidecar of a vintage motorbike, guided by an enthusiast, you head off the standard circuits, from medina to Guéliz and the palm grove. Not a monument tour but a ride - expensive but memorable.

A vintage motorbike with a sidecar, an enthusiast at the wheel, and you sat in the side-car: this is the most singular - and priciest - way to take on Marrakech. You do not tick monuments off. You head off the standard circuits, wind in your face, to feel the town.

The spirit is a private, tailor-made ride. The insider drives, tells stories and adjusts the route: medina alleys, Mellah and Kasbah, Art Deco Guéliz avenues, palm-grove tracks. You stop for photos, and the three-hour format adds a tea stop in a riad and the Bab El Khemis flea market.

Let us be clear on the price: from about £93 (and a fair bit more depending on the format and the season), this is one of the priciest activities in town. You pay for the private setup, the vintage machine and the experience - not a number of entries, which are not included anyway. It is a photogenic interlude, not a history class.

For the same urge to see the town differently, but on a tight budget, the tuk-tuk links the monuments without walking. And the medina also runs by e-scooter or by bike.

Good to know

What to bringSomething to cover up a little (you ride in the open air), sunglasses, and the camera: the ride is made for it.
A ride, not a tourThe side-car is a sensory, photogenic experience, not a monument tour: entries are not included, and you discover the town from the sidecar rather than on foot.
The price, no dressingOne of the priciest activities in town (from £93, more depending on the format and the season). You pay for the private setup, the tailoring and the vintage experience - not a number of monuments.
ConditionsPrivate, 2 passengers max per side-car. Open to all ages. You ride in the open air. In summer, aim for morning or late day.

Where to book this experience
