Atlas Mountains 8-day MTB Tour Overview

The Atlas Mountains 8-day mountain bike tour is an incredible way to explore Morocco's Atlas Mountains. Cycle through North Africa's highest mountain range on a tour that takes you off the beaten path on an unforgettable mountain biking adventure. On this private, guided mountain bike tour you'll ride from the old Medina of Marrakech far into the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, following Jeep tracks, mule paths and off-road routes through Morocco's incredible rugged terrain. Best of all, since this is a private trip you can customize the trip based on your ability.

Revealing the snow-capped peaks of Mount Toubkal, isolated Berber villages that cling to steep valleys and terraced fields, you'll ride through some of Morocco's most stunning scenery. Staying overnight in local villages lets you immerse yourself in a world that few visitors get to see. Enjoy a mountain biking trip with a great mix of challenging ascents, flat plateaus, and soaring peaks, all of which show off the natural beauty of Morocco.
