Raid Passion, Raid Morocco

 

Over the years this event has grown, here is the 12th edition of this beautiful Passion Desert Raid. It takes place on the tracks and dunes of Morocco over ten days.

The event is open to 4x4s, bikes and quads.

The raid is the opportunity to discover Morocco and its population, between friends, family or on our own. The route is changed every year and crosses the country from the Atlas Mountains to the Atlantic coast, taking in the edge of Western Sahara in southern Moroccan.

 

Some 300 people, all passionate about motor sports and adventure come together for this adventure. Its heaven for desert lovers. This is not a speed competition but a journey in raid conditions with SatNav navigation and a road book prepared by the organization. This raid is an adventure with the security and supervision of professionals and a humanitarian action.

The course

The route has been carefully designed for bikes and quads but the 4x4s will be more than happy with the course!

This is a technical and sandy course.

Participants can chose to avoid obstacles, which reduces the level of difficulty on each stage.
