Morocco is one of the most exciting destinations in the world for cycling lovers. With its dramatic mountain ranges, peaceful desert tracks, colorful villages, and warm hospitality, the country offers endless routes for every type of rider — from beginners looking for a scenic escape to advanced cyclists seeking real adventure.
Cycling in Morocco is more than just riding from point to point — it’s a journey through culture, landscapes, and history. Each region has its own charm:
High Atlas Mountains: Perfect for MTB lovers, offering rocky trails, Berber villages, and panoramic views that reward every climb.
Anti-Atlas & Draa Valley: Smooth desert roads mixed with palm groves, kasbahs, and ancient caravan routes.
Sahara Desert: A magical place to ride at sunrise or sunset, where golden dunes meet wide gravel tracks.
