Rallye Sirocco is a premium regularity rally experience across Morocco, designed for crews and partners who care about precision, culture and the extraordinary road.
The Sirocco is the warm wind that crosses the Atlas, brushes the kasbahs and exhales over the Sahara. The rally follows that breath from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, M’hamid El Ghizlane, Zagora, Foum El Oued, Taznakht, Aït Ben Haddou and back to Marrakech.
As a regularity rally, Rallye Sirocco rewards timing, roadbook discipline, navigation and crew communication. It is not a speed race. It is a measured, elegant challenge where every team can compete with intelligence and consistency.
Edition I takes place December 18–23, 2026 and is limited to 15 crews — 30 participants to preserve quality, safety, hospitality, and exclusivity.
Timed sections reward precision, navigation and consistency.
Selected stays, briefings, meals, ceremonies and desert moments.
A route shaped by medinas, kasbahs, Atlas roads and Saharan landscapes.
Led by Abdelouahed Ettoubaji, President of ASACM, Director of FMVA, Paris-Dakar 2007 participant, and a Moroccan motorsport figure with more than 40 years of experience.
