Description of Cycling holiday in Morocco

Discover inland Morocco on a moderately-paced cycling holiday. This eight-day trip takes you on a loop from Marrakech into Morocco’s desert landscapes, passing through the Sahara’s Hamada desert, through oases and villages, and past kasbahs, ksours (castles) and palmeries.

For the first few days you’ll be cycling on the road to warm up, passing through the Draa Valley, reaching the Erg Chebbi sand dunes in the Sahara and discovering ‘The Valley of the 1000 Kasbahs.’ On the last day, you can experience exciting descent down the Tizi N’Fedrhate Pass in the Atlas Mountains. You’ll travel by both bike and minibus, in a group of no more than 16 cyclists. A support vehicle follows you on your adventure – all you need to bring is your own helmet.

As well as cycling, there are plenty of sightseeing opportunities. You can walk into the Todra Gorge, ride camels in the sand dunes, and spend the night in a desert camp before waking up to a glorious sunrise over the dunes. You’ll start and end the trip in Marrakech, a city densely packed with atmospheric sights – from the medina to the Djemma-el-Fna Square.

Holiday information

Small group tour, ideal for solos & couples:
Small group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modelled on independent travel – but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. It’s easy to tick off the big sights independently – but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, travelling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. Those with a two-week holiday, a small group tour will save valuable planning time.

My wife and I really enjoyed this trip, although it was challenging at times; the challenges were always rewarded. The camel ride through the desert and the night in a tent amongst the dunes was particularly memorable. Read full review

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet and people

Cycling; low impact on the environment and good for the health! Furthermore we enjoy the thrill of mountain biking whilst keeping our impact to a minimum as most of our cycling is on existing paths rather than off road.

Staying in and travelling through small villages along our journey, we are able to buy pottery and village crafted goods to support those local communities. It is also an ideal way to meet the local people more readily. Being on bikes, we can be quite versatile and are able to visit places that are not as easily accessible by other means of transport and can explore the high passes of the Central High Atlas.

In addition to the above, we are continually looking for ways to improve and are proud to be ‘Responsible in everything we do’. Education is key and so all staff, Tour leaders and partnering suppliers are trained in responsible and sustainable tourism.
At our Head Office, we continually strive towards a sustainable and planet-friendly working environment, including having solar panels installed and a company commitment to reducing our plastic usage. As well as this, we have valuable and longstanding partnerships with UK charities Toilet Twinning and Send a Cow, plus many smaller initiatives and projects around the world. We’re members of UK travel industry bodies Tourism Concern and AITO because we believe it’s important to share our knowledge and experience, as well as learn from other operators.

As a company we support Cool Earth. Protecting rainforest is one of the most effective actions to tackle climate breakdown. Cool Earth work with indigenous communities empowering them to conserve their forest; keeping CO2 locked in.
