To visit Morocco is still like turning the pages of some illuminated ancient manuscript all embroidered with bright shapes and subtle lines.

From the spectacular Kasbah ruins of Morocco’s ancient kingdoms to a luxury Berber tent camp amidst the towering dunes of the Western Sahara, a Magic Places Cycling Adventure immerses you in the beauty and magic of a route that evokes an age of kings and caravans.

Tour Description

Starting in the beautiful chaos that is Marrakech and finishing at the edge of the vast and desolate Sahara desert, your 350 km custom tour follows the centuries-old spice route down the sinuous Draa River, carving it’s way through ochre gorges and lush oases. You’ll start your ride from the 2300m crest of the Atlas Mountains, passing UNESCO heritage Kasbah Telouet and Ait Benhaddou and visiting towns and villages that have changed little since these former palaces were in their glory.

The otherworldly highlights of a custom Moroccan cycling adventure includes:

  • Spend the night beneath a blanket of stars in a private Berber tent camp amidst 300m sand dunes
  • Ride along the storied Draa river dotted with date palm oases and turreted pink ksour and kasbahs
  • Explore the stunningly elaborate kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, made famous in Lawrence of Arabia
  • Ride the picturesque Ounila Valley, viewing cliff dwellings, terraced orchards, and crumbling agadirs
  • Immerse yourself in the colourful and kitchy souks of the Marrakech medina

Imagine yourself here…
