Mountain Biking Holiday in Morocco, the 10 day Atlas to Desert



This superb mountain bike holiday to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco suitable for mid-level mountain bikers. Morocco is a land of big skies and stark mountain ranges where mud-brick kasbahs appear to rise up out of the desert, sitting in tranquil palm oases and framed by dramatic backdrops of snowcapped mountains. We ride along Morocco’s dirt roads, taking us from Marrakech to the Tichka Pass, the highest in the High Atlas, and then southward, descending along the Draa Valley to the fringes of the Sahara Desert.

The riding is on non-technical hard-pack trails, which are normally in a good condition although they can be rough, covering, on average, about 50km per day. En route we pass through numerous traditional villages, on the way visiting the ancient kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and making plenty of mint tea stops to experience close-up the legendary hospitality that has risen up from the remote outposts of the desert. To keep things varied, we use different styles of accommodation en route, from cosy auberges, traditional family homes, camping under the stars to three-star hotels with pool. In the evening we have the chance to sample Morocco’s cuisine, whilst lunches are normally taken picnic-style, usually in beautifully remote places.

  • To keep things varied, we use different styles (and standards) of accommodation en route, from cosy auberges to three-star hotels with pool. We have deliberately chosen a variety of different styles of accommodation with the emphasis sometimes on comfort, sometimes on character, sometimes necessity (camping and the basic village house), where there are no other options given the remoteness of our location. Most, but not all, hotels, have private facilities. Facilities in the village house in the Sirwa are extremely basic. As Morocco is a Muslim country, alcohol is not always available in hotels although we make provision for this so you can enjoy a beer or two most nights!

    In the evening we have the chance to sample Morocco’s cuisine, whilst lunches are normally taken picnic-style, usually in beautifully remote places.
