Explore medieval medinas and cross mountain passes on a Moroccan cycling adventure
Desert sands, snow-capped mountains, green valleys, red cliff gorges and seaside paths – you'll explore them all on this 14-day cycling tour through Morocco. Discover a land overflowing with mystery, history and culture, a place where the people welcome you with endless stories and the landscape offers endless diversity. Ride to beaches, deserts, forests, mountains and orchards, from Marrakesh through to Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fes and the High Atlas Mountains. Ride a camel at sunset (the best seat in the house) as the heat of the Sahara cools and discover the ancient city of Ait Benhaddou (the filming location of many movies and TV shows).

The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip apart from overnight train (1 night), desert camp (1 night), and gite (1 night), and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
verified
3. Bicycle hire is included in your trip price. Please advise your height at time of booking that we can ensure a suitable sized bike is arranged.
verified
4. An e-bike option (at additional cost) may be available on this trip. We have limited numbers of these bikes available and they are an 'on request' basis only. A request does not guarantee an e-bike, only a confirmed booking. Please ask your agent for more details at the time of booking.
verified
5. Bike helmets are compulsory on this trip. We are unable to hire bike helmets locally so please ensure you bring your own bike helmet from home.
verified
6. Morocco gets very warm in summer (June, July, August) so our leader may opt to shorten or reroute rides to ensure travelers' health and safety is not compromised.
verified
7. There's an overnight train on Day 2 of the trip. The train has four-berth couchette compartments with upper and lower bunks on each side, so you may be sharing a confined space with people outside of your travel group. this train is occasionally cancelled at very late notice, meaning we take a minivan instead.

Morocco is great, the trip took us to fantastic places, the leader was excellent. However, a cycle trip is reliant on the bike. The bikes varied from decent (mine) to virtually unridable (my wife's). Bring your own bike, get an e-bike, or hope Intrepid services the bikes.

Morocco is a great destination for a cycle tour. Be prepared for challenging cycling days in the mountains. Our Intrepid guide Mohamed Inti was great.

We wouldn't have gone to Morocco if it weren't for the Intrepid 2 week cycling tour which pricked our sense of adventure. In a small group we had company to experience the delights of Moroccan food, old walled medinas, and the vast agricultural wonderland from the bike but also from the bus which transported us between the scenic rides. The guides really looked after us and it was a lovely group.

Mohamed was the most informative, communicative and enthusiastic guide I have had the pleasure of meeting. He managed our large group seamlessly, catering to varied needs. His love of his country added to the depth of our experience.

The Intrepid Cycle Morocco tour was absolutely fantastic. I’m 63 years old and took on the challenge of getting bike fit for this tour. I have one regret: that it had to come to an end. The Intrepid crew were terrific and looked after us at all times. Most of all, Morocco has been revealed to me as an incredibly beautiful and diverse country.

Morocco is best seen by bike. The landscapes are unbelievably big and beautiful.
I could never get enough of the contrasts of the houses set in the rocky formations and cultivated green valleys below. The bike ride was full of adventure and local activities that we all enjoyed. Totally memorable.

An unforgettable cycling tour through Morocco—breathtaking, unexpected scenery at every turn. Our guide, Mohamed, was exceptional, balancing support and insight perfectly. The challenging routes pushed us, but the camaraderie of a fantastic group made it all worthwhile. A truly enriching and exhilarating adventure from start to finish.

This tour was worth its weight in gold. I have recommended it to friends who love to cycle, travel to an exotic destination and who enjoy meeting others.
The guides were so kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

Cycle Morocco exceeded our expectations! Amazing scenery, people and culture. So much to take in and no better way than on a bike! One highlight was the off road day where we had tea in a cave/home if a nomadic family. Amazing!
