Berber Bike Ride
Morocco
ABOUT THIS BIKE RIDE
The high altitude deserts of Morocco are a mountain biking paradise. Cycle through expansive orange deserts spotted with green oasis and ancient cities. Climb into the highlands of the legendary Atlas mountains and descend into valleys lined with date palms. Each day in Morocco is action packed full of worthy climbs, satisfying descents, and panoramic views.
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.
Our Morocco bike rides are perfect for the Spring and Autumn seasons, in fact almost the whole year except July & August where the temperatures are too high.
