  I recently joined the Hidden Gems Gravel Trip with MTB Morocco, and let me tell you—it was worth every penny! At first, the price seemed a bit steep, but once you hit the trails with this team, you’ll quickly understand the value. This isn’t your typical touristy tour. These guys are all about the real gravel biking experience. They don’t take you on detours to shops for commissions or try to upsell you at every corner. Instead, they focus entirely on creating an authentic, seamless adventure, showing you the true beauty of Morocco through trails you’d never find on your own. The routes were absolutely stunning—gravel paths winding through hidden valleys, remote villages, and jaw-dropping landscapes. The guides were professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about biking, which made every mile an incredible experience. The high-quality bikes and attention to detail made the trip not only smooth but unforgettable. What really stood out was how much I saved in terms of time and stress. With MTB Morocco, everything is planned perfectly, and their English-speaking team ensures you’re taken care of from start to finish. If you’re thinking of comparing this trip to something cheaper, don’t. You’re paying for expertise, authenticity, and an adventure that will stay with you forever. For any gravel enthusiast looking to explore Morocco’s hidden gems, this is the trip to book. I can’t recommend it enough!

  I had the pleasure of joining the 6-Day Gravel Bike Tour through the stunning Atlas Mountains in Morocco this October with a fantastic group of 12 people. To say it was an unforgettable experience would be an understatement. From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family, not just tourists. The team at Morocco Bike Experience truly goes above and beyond. Our local guides were incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the routes but also about the history, culture, and traditions of the region. They made every ride feel like an exploration of the hidden gems of Morocco, leading us through breathtaking landscapes, remote mountain villages, and past jaw-dropping scenery that made us feel like we were riding through a dream. The cycling routes themselves were absolutely amazing. We went over two passes above 2,000 meters, which offered spectacular views and thrilling descents. Each day brought new challenges, but with the support of the guides and the crew, we felt confident tackling the terrain. There were moments when I was in awe of the beauty around us, riding through ancient towns and small mountain communities that seemed untouched by time. It was a perfect balance of adventure and cultural immersion. One of the things I loved the most was how much the trip felt like a family affair. The guides, support team, and the group of riders all formed a tight-knit community. We shared stories, laughter, and even some minor bike repairs along the way! Every evening, we would gather together at our cozy accommodations, talk about the day’s ride, and enjoy delicious Moroccan meals. The warmth and hospitality of the people in the villages we passed through was heartwarming, and I’ll never forget the sense of connection we felt with both the land and its people. If you are looking for a truly unique and authentic cycling adventure, this is it. The roads were smooth and scenic, the challenge was exhilarating, and the memories we created together will last a lifetime. Morocco Bike Experience made sure that every detail was taken care of, from the moment we arrived in Marrakech to our last pedal stroke. Whether you're a seasoned rider or someone looking for an unforgettable biking holiday, I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thank you to the whole team for an amazing journey—I’ll definitely be back!

  The tour was well-organized, with knowledgeable guides who shared fascinating insights about the local culture and history. The bikes provided were top-notch, ensuring a smooth ride even on challenging terrains. One of the highlights was stopping at a traditional Berber house for mint tea and snacks. It was such a unique opportunity to connect with the locals and learn about their way of life. The trails ranged from moderate to challenging, but there was always support for those who needed it. Whether you’re an experienced biker or a casual rider, this tour has something for everyone. If you’re looking for an adventurous yet culturally enriching experience, I highly recommend this bike tour in the Atlas Mountains. It’s a perfect blend of adrenaline, nature, and discovery!

  Amazing Cycling Adventure through Morocco’s Iconic Landscapes I recently completed an incredible cycling tour from Marrakech to the Atlas Mountains, covering Taliouine, Ait Benhaddou, Taznakht, and several high mountain passes in Morocco. This was, without a doubt, the best tour I have ever done, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a thrilling and culturally rich adventure. Highlights: Marrakech: Starting in the vibrant city of Marrakech was perfect. The lively souks, historical sites, and delicious Moroccan cuisine set an exciting tone for the journey. Atlas Mountains: Cycling through the Atlas Mountains was a dream. The challenging climbs, exhilarating descents, and breathtaking views of traditional Berber villages made every moment unforgettable. Taliouine: Visiting the saffron fields in Taliouine was a unique and delightful experience. The local farmers were welcoming and provided fascinating insights into saffron production. Ait Benhaddou: Exploring the ancient ksar of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, felt like stepping back in time. The stunning earthen architecture was a highlight of the tour. Taznakht: Known for its beautiful carpets, Taznakht offered a wonderful cultural experience. Seeing the traditional carpet weaving process up close was both educational and impressive. High Mountain Passes: Conquering the high passes, especially Tizi n’Tichka, was tough but incredibly rewarding. The panoramic views from the top were absolutely worth it. Accommodation and Support: The accommodations were excellent, ranging from charming riads to luxurious kasbahs. Each stay was comfortable and added to the overall experience. The tour was well-organized, with professional guides ensuring our safety and support vehicles always nearby. The provided bikes were top-notch, and the option to use e-bikes for tougher climbs was a great bonus. Cultural Immersion: This tour offered rich cultural experiences, from visiting local markets and Berber homes to enjoying traditional Moroccan meals. Learning about saffron production and carpet weaving enriched my understanding of Moroccan culture. Conclusion: This cycling tour through Morocco's iconic landscapes was the best adventure I've ever undertaken. It perfectly balanced physical challenge, cultural immersion, and natural beauty. If you're an avid cyclist or an adventure enthusiast, this tour is a must-do. It was truly the journey of a lifetime!
