Starting and ending in Agadir, the "Atlas Descent" tour is a guided mountain biking trip that takes 8 days. You will travel through High Atlas Mountains, Agadir and Tiznit in Morocco. "Atlas Descent" is a small group tour which includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

Over the years, we’ve ridden every trail through the Anti-Atlas Mountains to create the best offroad cycling tour around. This trip has everything from fast singletracks passing palm trees to tightly turning muleteer routes and remote, rocky jeep tracks. Alongside the amazing trails, there is epic scenery, delicious food and one of the warmest welcomes in North Africa. Along the way, we pass areas untouched by mass tourism, but also interact with local people and experience the indigenous Amazigh culture.

Aldo Kane Collection: A hand-selected range of adventures by our Brand Ambassador:“This trip is a combination of my two favourite pastimes: biking and being in the mountains. Also, my son’s name is Atlas, so this trip really stuck out for me. From exhilarating hairpin bends that ancient muleteers used to fast, singletrack routes through palmeries, the Anti-Atlas Mountains offer some of the best mountain biking trails in the world.”
