October 25–30, 2026
ADDAX RALLY 2026
Morocco
An off-road motorcycle rally-raid combining navigation and speed, in the heart of the Merzouga dunes.

1,000 km, 4 stages, and the discovery of Morocco on your Ténéré 700: welcome to the Desert Tour!
In November 2026, join us for a truly immersive adventure.
On the program: travel, surpassing your limits, and a week of challenges alongside our ambassadors:









The Desert Tour is a raid dedicated to the Yamaha Ténéré. A raid to discover the desert, but also to challenge yourself
On the strength of our experience, we wanted to create a raid that resembled us, with 3 categories to suit all levels
The difference between these three categories lies in the adapted route, but above all in the navigation mode:from GPX to the discovery of road-book navigation.
And what better than our ambassadors and drivers to help you discover the desert and the road-book ?
Each day, you’ll be invited to take on a series of mini-challenges adapted to your category. These varied challenges will enhance your navigation, your technique, your sense of anticipation and your spirit of adventure.
At the end of the raid, your accumulated points will establish a podium by category, with prizes to be won.
The aim: to surpass yourself without pressure, have fun and live the Ténéré experience to the full.
The raid follows a “cloverleaf” format, meaning our bivouac base doesn’t change.
Our bivouac will be set up at the Xaluca hotel.
Nov 22 : Departure / Return
This category is ideal for adventurers who want to discover Morocco at their own pace.
Navigation: GPX Tracks only.
Raid profile: The route is designed to be accessible: around 60% trails and 40% road links.
The terrain: The route takes in beautiful rolling tracks, wadi crossings and small sandy sections, as well as fast desert plains. Highly technical sections, such as large dunes or deep sand, are systematically offered as a short option to keep the main route easy.
Your objective: The pace is free, but the course is punctuated with accessible mini-challenges (light crossing, GPS accuracy…) to spice up your day. The main objective is to accumulate enough points each day to earn the title of Raid Finisher.

This category is designed for adventurers with a first off-road experience who want to discover road-book navigation.
Navigation: The principle is simple: the road-book is your main navigation tool, but GPX tracks are permanently available as a safety net and confirmation aid. Feel free to consult the GPS to validate your reading and gain confidence in the interpretation of the notes.
Raid profile: The route is more demanding in terms of navigation, with around 70% trails and 30% road links.
The terrain: The route offers an excellent balance between speed and technique. You’ll cross vast plains, wadis and more substantial stretches of sand. There are more complex navigation zones and more technical sections than in the Adventure category.
Your goal: Your main goal is to master road-book navigation to earn maximumchallenge points and become a finisher.
