This 8-day combined Atlas and Sahara MTB tour takes you through the stunning contrasts of Southern Morocco. Starting from Marrakech, the journey traverses high mountain plateaus, the dramatic canyons of Mgoun, the mineral landscapes of Djebel Saghro, and the fertile Draa Valley. Each day offers a new landscape: mountains and gorges one day, wide oases the next, with encounters with Berber villages and nomadic life along the way.
Cyclists will ride challenging trails through high plateaus, valleys, and desert dunes, while non-cyclists can accompany the group by 4×4. The tour includes cultural experiences, such as visiting local families, kasbahs, and ancient sites, combined with the thrill of daily cycling challenges. From October to April, the weather offers perfect conditions for mountain biking in Morocco’s south.
