The team of five looking after our group of 16 was simply excellent. We felt safe travelling on the bus, our main guide Hicham leading the cycling part along with Omar ‘closing the march’ on cycling segments were really attentive and most pleasant. Accommodations were comfortable, no more. The cycling segments were most scenic except perhaps on those two days when cycling on a straight road through the desert. On the negative side, I would suggest that the time spent on the minibus was too long for all of us, there were way too many transfers and segments of 2 to 3+ hours long; also, the sites selected for our daily picnics were possibly the worst one could find (rocky, sandy grounds, nowhere to sit) they need to revisit this for sure. The cycling notes from Explore! Detailing the ascents and descents were wrong on several occasions according to many (this deserves some attention as well). That being said, Hicham and the team did their outmost to address our needs and introduce us to the people and culture of Morocco.

The tour was brilliant. It left me tired but refreshed. I feel like I have been on holiday for a month not 2 weeks. Abdul was knowledgable and passionate about his country, well organised and good fun to be with. He was patient and kind. Mohammed and Hassan were brilliant in support, always around to help with a smile.

What our customers ask about Bicycle Tours & Trips in Morocco
What are the top cycling routes in Morocco for scenery and adventure?
Morocco's premier cycling routes weave through the High Atlas Mountains descent via Paradise Valley the Draa Valley with its ancient kasbahs and the breezy coastal path to Essaouira. The Tizi n'Test Pass standing at 6,890ft presents sweeping views across the Sousse Valley and Anti Atlas Mountains. A TourRadar traveler noted "The scenery was just spectacular and at times you felt like you had the whole valley to yourself" while cycling near Tafraoute. The routes showcase Morocco's varied terrain from mountain peaks to lush oases with stops at distinctive properties like the Hotel des Cascades Ecolodge in Imouzzer.
What are the typical daily cycling distances on Morocco tours?
Cyclists cover between 35-70km daily across varied landscapes. The Marrakech to Paradise Valley route spans 45km while the desert stretch from Erfoud extends 54km. A TourRadar traveler shared "Some of the climbs and descents are not for the faint-hearted" specifically about the 20km Tizi n'Test Pass ascent. Each tour provides a backup vehicle letting riders choose their daily distance. A standard day includes 4-6 hours of cycling with regular stops for rest photography and local exploration.
What type of accommodation can I expect on a Morocco cycling tour?
Lodging ranges from modern hotels to traditional riads and desert camps. Notable stays include the mountainside Hotel les Amandiers in Tafraoute and historic properties like Riad Al Madina in Essaouira's old town. One TourRadar traveler noted: "The hotels after Day 2 improve immensely including a palace and the most stunning central hotel in Essaouira." Desert camps offer proper beds with mattresses and blankets though amenities are basic. Tours blend 3-4 star hotels with local guesthouses creating a mix of comfort and authenticity.
What is the best time of year for cycling in Morocco?
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer ideal cycling conditions with moderate temperatures. Winter brings cold weather to the Atlas Mountains while summer sees Sahara temperatures above 40°C. A TourRadar traveler advised: "If you're going on the February trip prepare to be cold! I needed fingered gloves body warmers ear covers neck covers and full length warm leggings." Coastal areas near Essaouira maintain mild temperatures throughout the year while inland regions experience more dramatic seasonal shifts.
What is included in a typical Morocco cycling tour package?
Standard tour packages provide bike rental (typically Cannondale mountain or hybrid bikes) support vehicles lodging most meals and expert guides. Accommodations like Hotel les Amandiers and activities such as Sahara camel rides come included. A TourRadar traveler commented: "The guides were excellent very friendly and good bike mechanics and organized great food and cultural experiences." While breakfast and select dinners are covered some meals are left open for independent dining exploration.
What cultural experiences are included in Morocco cycling tours?
Beyond cycling tours incorporate visits to UNESCO sites like Ait Benhaddou local market exploration and riad stays. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We had the chance to talk to members of a women's cooperative near Essaouira who were producing products from Argan oil." The journey takes riders through Berber communities past historic kasbahs and into desert camps. Stops for traditional mint tea and artisan workshops add cultural depth to the cycling adventure.
