Cycling
Tour Code: MGGA (8Days)
This tour is an 8-day mountain bike holiday adventure in Morocco's arid Jebel Sahro region. With the snow-covered peaks of the High Atlas to the north and the Sahara to the south, the climate of the Jebel Sahro in southern Morocco is the perfect place for cycling outside the summer months.
From the bustling city of Marrakech, we drive across the Atlas Mountains to Klaa Mgouna and begin biking in the beautiful Rose valley, whose terraced gardens and mud brick kasbahs blend beautifully. Ascending on a piste we find ourselves in a remote mountain area with nomadic berber shepherds and views of the Atlas peaks. Further up we reach the magnificent Amjguag canyons. Crossing the Taltfrouate Plateau, we fall down into the beautiful Dades Valley. Our journey continues, through Boumalne Dades and by way of the striking rock formation of Bab n'Ali, (Ali's Gate) to finally end up at the oasis of Nkob on the Draa Valley.
With its flexible itinerary and time to explore the souks and sounds of Marrakech, this great biking adventure is perfect for anyone looking to make a winter escape to Morocco, to the pink and ochre coloured mountains of the Jebel Saghro.
