Enjoy fantastic off-road riding through beautiful Morroccan scenery
Ride past ancient kasbahs, through deep sandstone gorges and over high mountain passes. Designed to be a little less demanding than our Atlas Descent trip, this ride is an ideal first mountain bike holiday. There is still plenty of adventure to be had in this spectacular desert region, including the challenge of the mighty Bab n'Ali climb, where your reward for reaching the top of the climb is stunning views of the snow-capped High Atlas mountains. To finish the trip on a high, we end the week in Marrakech, one of the most amazing cities in Africa

5 days cycling, average 45km/day (28 miles), 100% vehicle support. The tracks are mostly vehicle-width with occasional single track options. Reasonably good dirt and gravel trails, though occasionally rough and rocky. 60% of this trip is cross-country type riding, though there are some big climbs (up to 16km), which are all optional as support vehicles are available to give lifts whenever people wish. This is the ideal introduction to off road riding as long as you have a moderate level of fitness and an adventurous approach.
