MERZOUGA ON A TÉNÉRÉ 700
TheAddax Rally is an off-road rally-raid dedicated to motorcycles, combining navigation and speed, to be held from November 9 to 15, 2025 in Merzouga, southern Morocco.
RALLY-RAID IN MOROCCO AT MERZOUGA
This rally-raid offers a route of some 1,295 km, alternating sandy tracks, rocky terrain and the mythical dunes of Erg Chebbi.
The rally format takes the form of a cloverleaf, with a fixed bivouac: an ideal concept for enjoying the race to the full without having to move camp each day.
Roadbook navigation!
TheAddax Rally HQ is based at the Nasser Palace Hotel & Bivouacs, right in the heart of Merzouga, at the foot of the dunes.
The hotel, entirely reserved for participants, offers all the comfort needed after a day’s racing: accommodation, catering, mechanical assistance and logistics.
TheAddax Rally is a small rally-raid that’ s perfect for starting out, perfecting your skills or preparing for a more demanding event like the Africa Eco Race.
