Desert
Each year the Škoda Titan Desert Morocco route changes. Because the adventure can never be the same and each edition has to have unknown and undiscovered sections. It is an essential part of the experience.
A six-day trip and six stages to explore with your bike: desert, mountains, dunes and a millenary culture to discover. About 600 kilometers in total and an itinerant camp that is as important or even more important than the route itself. Six days of pure desert and a return to the origins, with a route that includes much of that first edition in 2006, but with new features and new sections.
Up to 620 kilometres in total, starting in Merzouga and finishing in Maadid, with all the classic elements of the Škoda Titan Desert Morocco: dune sections, navigation, marathon stage and that unique coexistence of Titans in the bivouac.

On the other hand, this is the classic navigation stage, with several kilometers in which the peloton will not have a track and will have to know how to use their GPS to find the best routes and the fastest way to overcome the desert.
Logistics: Loop stage, remember to pack your bag this day as we will be leaving the camp early in the morning after two nights in the same haima.
