Night 1
Hotel in Marrakech
Enjoy a night in Morocco’s capital city and head out to explore its vibrant souqs, historic palaces, and impressive mosques.
Ride high into the stunning landscapes of the Atlas Mountains.
Morocco's majestic Atlas Mountains are a treasure trove of soaring snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and remote undisturbed villages that hold fast to their traditional way of life. The E-Mountain Bike Morocco is a fantastic adventure by e-bike through the heart of Morocco's Berber country with the towering Atlas Mountains serving as your backdrop.
During this tour, you'll cycle close to the highest summit of North Africa, reach the top of the Tadmamt Pass, and ascend the challenging Tizi n'Tamaterte, surrounded by Morocco's incredible scenery. At night you'll stay in remote Berber villages and get a closer look at this unique and proud culture. As a fully guided tour, all you have to do is ride, take pictures, and enjoy the unbelievable beauty all around.
Your adventure begins upon your arrival at Marrakech Menara Airport where your guide will be waiting to greet you. You'll then take private transportation to the hotel in Marrakech and have the afternoon or evening free to explore this vibrant and colourful city's attractions, especially the souqs and palaces.
After breakfast, you'll travel by minibus towards the Amizmiz Valley and get ready to start biking. The route starts off fairly flat and rises as you cycle through traditional Berber villages and up to the Kik Plateau. From the top of this point, you get fantastic views of the Atlas Mountains and the crown jewel of Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa.
After descending into Asni, you’ll transfer to Imlil and spend a night at a local guesthouse immersed in the Berber culture.
Today's ride begins at the foothills of Mount Toubkal and takes you to the top of the imposing high mountain pass of Tizi n'Tamaterte, where from 2230m you get amazing views of the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas range.
From Wanskra village, follow a dirt track down through the valley and past tiny villages perched on the edge of the deep riverbed. You’ll overnight in Asni at a local guesthouse and enjoy a traditional dinner together.
After setting out for a brief warm-up on flat terrain, challenge yourself to reach the top of the Tadmamt Pass, which stands at 1800m. It's a long ride but you'll be rewarded with fabulous views of the vast northern plains and the mighty Atlas mountains.
Continue east into the lush Ourika Valley, pack up the bikes, and head back to Marrakech for your last night.
Your biking journey through the Atlas Mountains officially comes to an end today. After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, a driver will transfer you back to the airport for your outward journey. Have a safe flight and a good trip home!

I’ve been using 10A route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10A made that happen.

I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.
Lina K.
I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!
Gabriela H.
Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!

My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!
Alexandra D.
Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!

Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.

I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!

I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!

I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!
Robert D.
I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.
Monica L.
Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.
