Morocco plays host to two of the greatest international motor sports competitions of this century - the Paris Dakar and the Atlas Rallies. The go throughout Africa.

People come from all over the world to witness these spectacular events. The thousands of kilometers that the contestants travel (over all types of terrain) present endless challenges. Vehicles used range from small quad bikes to heavy long chassis four-wheel drives.

Another event, the "The Friendship Raid" runs from Tangiers to Rabat via the Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert. It's not a race against the clock and is open to motorbikes and four-wheel drives. This is a great way to meet and get to know like-minded enthusiasts without the pressure of the clock.
