4 days bike hire starting in Agadir
 
Hi!

Please forgive my lack of knowledge round these parts. I've stumbled onto this forum after googling for suggested dirt bike routes in Morocco, specifically around Agadir.

I'm currently in Agadir Morocco and looking to hire a Honda Tornado 250 for a few days to explore.
I have a little previous dirt bike riding experience although I would say that I would stick to tarmac and 'blue' pistes (is this correct? not tarmac but not extremely challenging either?).

I was checking out the morocco-knowledge base but was having trouble finding mappings of suggested routes in the area.

I'm looking to rent the bike from Atlantic Motos in Agadir and they have advised they will provide a Michelin map. I've also got my iPhone and can download offline maps (got maps.me as well just in case. never used it before but seen it suggested)
A 10,0000mAH powerbank that i know can charge my phone 3 times over to ensure i dont run out of battery.

This is a bit of a spur-of-the-moment decision and I'm not looking to do anything extraordinary. Just hoping to do a bit of sight seeing and possibly get some awesome photos from high locations (to show off on social media :P) that can be accessed by bike.

In terms of accomodation, I'm hoping to either find hostels or cheap hotels/airbnbs. I'm packing a 40L backpack which I believe will strap fine on the back of the bike?

I'm sorry for the absolute newbie questions. I have limited time and have read a few of the forum threads but hoping to maximise time efficiency by asking here.
Am I being too naive by doing this on short notice?

I'm sure a lot more questions will pop up. Look forward to hearing any advice from here!

Thanks in advance,

Pat

Around Agadir you'd want to head east towards Taroudannt and Taliouine and then either up into the High Atlas or south into the Anti Atlas although there are some nice routes along the coast down to TanTan.

A paper map won't show all the pistes but some P Roads are dirt or varying states and they would be on the maps. Open Street Maps (OSM) has very good detail on the pistes if you have a app that uses their base mapping
