Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains offer one of the most exciting cyclist’s playgrounds in the world. Unmissable adventures, incredible terrain and breath-taking views through green valleys and across snow-capped peaks… Ride the old Spice Caravan road to the Onila valley, discover the volcanic Anti-Atlas (Low Atlas) region and climb the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. The warm Mediterranean climate makes Morocco ideal for spring and autumn riding.
The High Atlas Mountains constitute the highest mountain range in North Africa, with peaks of over 4,000 m, and the Tizi n’Tichka Pass is the jewel in its crown. Tarmac roads and gravel trails offer a variety of routes to conquer this impressive climb, with the chance to enjoy a traditional Moroccan tea when at the summit, sitting at an altitude of 2,260 m.
Prepare for a truly special experience in Marrakesh, the city of light, colour and magic. The city's main square, Yamaa el Fna, is full of surprises, especially at night when the space fills with musicians, acrobats and performers of all kinds. The Medina, a warren of narrow cobbled streets full of curious visitors and plodding donkeys alike, is also an essential visit. It was the original walled settlement around which the rest of the city was built. Another must is the Jardin Majorelle, a gift from Yves Saint Laurent to the city of Marrakech, and home to over 300 species of plants from all five continents. The sights, the sounds and the flavours... Marrakesh will leave you with memories you'll never forget.
Moroccan food is known for is slow cooked tagines, couscous, grilled meats and fresh vegetables. Another unmissable classic in Moroccan cuisine is traditional mint tea, a sweet, hot beverage made from green gunpowder tea, a generous amount of fresh mint leaves, and sugar. Morocco offers everything you need for unique opportunity to cleanse the body and soul with fresh, delicious food, lots of kms and zero toxins.
