From the climbs framed by snow-dusted peaks of the High Atlas to sweeping descents into palm-lined oases, this 10-day tour is for cyclists who love a good hill with an even better view. For cyclists who relish a ride that challenges and rewards in equal measure. Our Road Cycling Morocco: Atlas to Atlantic ride is all about the cols, the authentic culture, the camaraderie and of course, the epic scenery.
Arrive in lively and exotic Marrakesh and start things off by sampling two staples of this tour: views of the Atlas mountains in the distance, and renowned Moroccan hospitality at our traditional riad accommodation. The cycling begins just outside the city, in the foothills of the Atlas, to test the legs and get a feel for the terrain before climbing into the stunning High Atlas. Enjoy the fresh air, spectacular views, and authentic local culture and hospitality in the remote villages along the way.
Head further into Berber territory of the Anti-Atlas, as the landscape becomes drier and dotted with otherworldly rock formations, canyons, and hidden desert oases. Fantastic cycling awaits in the arid hills around Tafraout, Morocco's almond-growing regions, and paradisical valleys along the path to the Atlantic Coast. The climbs don't come easy, but the views, the experience, and the descents are worth it. Celebrate the journey in ancient Essaouira by the sea, before travelling back to Marrakesh for a final taste of Moroccan culture.
