The high altitude deserts of Morocco are a mountain biking paradise. Cycle through expansive orange deserts spotted with green oasis and ancient cities.

Located on the north-westernmost stretch of Africa and a gateway to Europe, Morocco is one of the most vibrant cultural and commercial crossroads of the continent. In the saddle explore Morocco's rugged hills and valleys of the Atlas Mountains. Venture into these highlands inhabited by the Berbers and be delighted by their proud traditions that have been passed down for millennia.

​

Roll and pedal up and down the sea of red massifs and take in the captivating views of snow-capped peaks just a few miles further from the unforgiving desert, a contrasting picture of unparalleled beauty.

Beyond the Azgour plateau, we mount our bikes to start a stunning bike tour around Mount Toubkal. Throughout our journey we will discover the beautiful landscapes of the north slopes of the Western High Atlas, and across Toubkal national park, enjoying traditional Berber villages, valleys, canyons.
