MOUNTAIN BIKING MOROCCOBike from the Atlas Mountains
to the Atlantic Coast
Difficulty
Medium
Min Age
15 +
Duration
8 Days
You’ll climb the same passes Berber traders have used for centuries, through juniper forest and high plateau, ending most days the same way: mint tea, poured hot, in a home that isn’t yours but starts to feel like it. This mountain biking morocco atlas mountains route covers seven days and a version of the country most visitors never reach on two wheels.
The route runs from the green Ourika Valley up through the pass at Tizi Tadmamt, deep into Berber villages most maps barely mark, before looping back through the Kik Plateau and finishing, fittingly, in the chaos of Jemaa el Fna. Choose your own difficulty on day four, an easy paved option or the same zig-zag climb from the day before, this mountain biking morocco atlas mountains route adjusts to how your legs are feeling, not just what’s on the map.
