Important Safety Tips 

Riding a motorcycle not only represents greater practicality to drive in high traffic cities, but it is also an exciting experience. If you have ever done so, you will agree that, despite being very funny, it requires a greater concentration than driving a car. Whether you are an experienced motorcyclist or a rookie, you must take into account the following tips so, you do not have a bad time because of an unforeseen event.

Take a basic driving course

Maybe you didn't need great skills to learn to ride a bicycle, but you definitely need many when riding a motorcycle. It is always good for an instructor to tell you what you can do and how you should do it. Similarly, if you are just starting, it is recommended to start with a small or medium-sized motorbike.

Turn on the lights  

You have probably driven a car and, as you have noticed, there are blind spots. If sometimes you don't see cars when changing lanes, imagine will you be able to see an even smaller motorcycle. To make yourself more visible, it is recommended to turn on your lights in case it rains, turning on the flashing lights is a good idea.

Use the right equipment

Playing ice hockey and not bringing or elbow pads or knee pads or helmet is a real risk, riding a motorcycle without protection, is also a risk? If you usually move in the city, you should wear a helmet, gloves to avoid scratches on the hands, a protective jacket, and boots to the ankles. On the road the helmet must be foldable, the jacket must have protection on shoulders, back and elbows, the pants must have protection on the hip and knees, and the boots must be special for motorcyclists.

Training and Preparation For Your First Motorbike Adventure Tour

It is a hard task to complete a long motorbike tour without taking professional training from the experts in the field of motorbike. Getting a bike ride training program will surely benefit you no matter whether you are a newcomer or a skilled rider.

Is it actually essential to take a bike riding Program? 

You may possess the skill to ride a bike on long routes, but it is not necessary that you essentially will able to enjoy that trip for a long while. It is because of the lack of professional skills that are needed when you are a total beginner or an average rider. You may have the experience to ride in the hilly areas if you live in the mountain areas, but you do not have the experience of riding on crowded plain area roads. The opposite is the case for those who live in the plain area.


Beginning Steps to take a Bike Riding Lesson
  1. The foremost step to take a biking lesson is to feed yourself well. If you do not eat well, you may end up getting tired, hungry without getting any food on the long routes of training. Because of the hunger, you may not be able to focus correctly, and the results of taking the riding lesson will be fruitless. That's why you must eat healthy food that will provide you enough energy to take the training. 
  2. Then you choose the right bike, which you will be hiring for your biking trip on a rental basis( wheels of Morocco is one such site that offers training sessions, along with providing the BMW bikes on a rental basis).  Selecting the right bike will give you comfort during your whole trip, and you will be able to enjoy your voyage to the fullest. 
  3. The third step will be choosing the right clothes you will be wearing during your bike trip. You must add layers in your clothing style so that it can easily be adjusted and altered according to the weather conditions.
  4.  I suggest the perfect clothing to wear on a bike tour is a biking gear. It will not only provide you safety but will also keep your body stay in the right positions so that at the end of your trip, you won't suffer from any ailments. 
  5. Do not forget to carry the essentials. But what are these essentials? These essentials are what you will need the most on a motorbike trip. As you will be riding on the long routes, there will be places where there are no shops, people and even the water. So, what will you do in such situations? Only a kit that carries all the necessary travel items will help you. 
What are the items these kit should contain? 

The items your kit must contain are repair tools that can help you if your bike stops in the middle of nowhere. Then it must include a bottle of batter as you will get thirsty while training for a bike ride for a long while beneath the hot sun.

Do you know you can experience the adventure as well as enjoy the scenic beauty of Morocco at the same time by making a booking at one of the best tour operators like Wheels of Morocco that offers Morocco guided tours at an affordable price?

Through the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara, Morocco 

It’s not easy to get out of Marrakech due to numerous complexities. But if you make an effort on yourself, it turns out that the country is no less exotic and even beautiful. A popular motorbiking route starts from Marrakech, climbs into the Atlas Mountains, and then rolls down to the dunes of the Sahara, where you can switch to a camel ride if you are an enthusiast. On the way, you will find countless serpentines (greenish, brownish, or spotted minerals commonly found in serpentinite rocks) through extreme mountains, springs, and Berber villages, as well as adobe fortresses of Kasbah and tasty sweet mint tea. 

It is best to choose the lightest, but with long sleeve clothing, so you can protect your skin from getting a sunburn in Morocco. For self-check-in, you should take a tent. It will help you deal with bad weather conditions. On-bike tours prefer staying in hotels, to get relaxation.

Some of the Travel Tips 

1. Think of a travel style 

To make it easier to decide, answer these questions for yourself.

Are you ready to arrange everything yourself or trust a travel operator? Do you need a motorbike? 

Will you go to a hotel or take camping equipment? 

What interests you more: wildlife or beautiful cities, the sea or the mountains?

2. Check the weather 

The best way to plan your motorbike adventure journey plan is by checking the temperature and precipitation graphs that are on Wikipedia in English - for sure. Also, do not forget about the flow of wind; it can ruin your whole trip. 

3. Take the pump and camera repair kit 

You can fix a collapsed wheel in 15 minutes, remember to practice at home before leaving. On an adventurous motorbike trip, take tools and spare parts for all occasions.

 4. Choose quality clothing

Sportswear made from smooth synthetic fabrics breathes well, reduces moisture, and dries swiftly. Do not forget about carrying a sunblock for protection from the sun, and also a jacket and trousers made from waterproof or membrane fabric for rain and wind protection. 

5. Get ready to rent a bike 

Renting a bike from a reliable tour operator is the easiest option than transporting your own bike from a plane, train, or bus.

6. Do not forget about navigation 

A GPS navigator or smartphone with GPS and an application like Google Maps will help you navigate the terrain. 

7. Relax 

Just start with a route that you can handle and tune in to a great adventure motorbike ride. 

Conclusion 

You will love Morocco as soon as you get rid of all preconceptions. The whole country as a riad is unnoticeable on the outside and luxurious on the inside. Communicate with the locals as much as possible, try new things, don't be afraid of distances in most cases, a journey of 300 kilometers guarantees you new discoveries and adventures. This is definitely not the country where you want to spend the whole vacation on the beach. So, enjoy Morocco guided tours to the fullest.

4 Places To Visit On Your Morocco Tours For Perfect Photography

There are different beautiful places you will discover on your adventure motorbike tours in Morocco. But as an outsider, you don’t have knowledge about some unknown places that are worth watching and capturing for your Morocco travel photography. So, let us learn about them:

The country of Morocco has different sights of fortresses, palaces, picturesque gardens, holy places, and all kinds of oases, mountains, and valleys. This exotic country attracts tourists from all around the world. Morocco is not only known for its beaches but also for its interesting places. So, let us learn about some of the best sights in Morocco. 

Majorelle Garden Drenched in the wave of poetry, the Majorelle Garden annually pulls countless tourists to its paths. The house is painted in blue color, which looks remarkably effective against the backdrop of plain-looking mud walls. Majorelle garden looks beautiful especially in the winters when its walls acquire the identical color as the sky above Morocco. 

The master of this house was a French artist named Jacques Majorelle. He reached Morocco in 1919, being a patient of tuberculosis. Grappling with the disease, Jacques obtained a house and began to build a garden with rare plants. Soon this hobby turned into something more. The artist Jacques contacted botanists from all over the world and brought some unusual trees and flowers from South Africa, cacti from Mexico, lotuses from China. So, when this miracle of landscape art was ready, Jacques opened the garden gate for everyone, and hence it came to be known as Majorelle Garden. 

Bahia Palace

The grand and exquisite Bahia Palace was built for 7 years. The reason behind its construction was the greed of the vizier Sidi Moussa, who desired to build a palace for one of his 24 wives. He regularly bought more new neighboring plots of land. It was challenging for the architect designing the palace to invariably make new changes so that the palace came out to look appropriate and beautiful. 

Al Koutoubia Mosque 

The Al-Koutoubia Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakech, which is well-known for its grand and magnificent 69-meter minaret. Seeing the light in the 12th century, Moorish sultans fancied the tower so much that it served as a prototype for two other minarets - the Hassan Tower in Rabat and the Giralda tower in Seville. 

When the mosque was built it was used for serving several different functions, including a library, university, and a school. 

The mosque unites the elements of Moroccan and Andalusian architecture it is coated with colored stucco and decorated with splendidly colored bright mosaics. So this makes it more beautiful for photography purposes. The pinnacle of the minaret is furnished with four golden balls. According to legend, they were formed of the jewelry of the wife of the Sultan Yakub al-Mansur, which she had to deliver to a charitable deed as a sign of her remorse for the sin committed during the holy month.

The Great Mosque of Hassan II

The Hassan II Great Mosque is located on the banks of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the second-largest mosque in the world after the iconic Mecca. The height of the minaret is 210 meters, which significantly surpasses the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The mosque was built recently, in 1993 with the huge sum of 800 million dollars spent on the construction that was collected on donations from believers. The mosque is so enormous that 25 thousand believers can pray inside it at the same time, and another 80 thousand can also pray in the square nearby.

Like these, there are many other beautiful places you can discover on your Morocco guided tours for fulfilling your photography passion. So, stay connected to get more information.
