Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
See a different side of Morocco by bike on two guided cycling trips where you’ll get closer to authentic Morocco, off the beaten tracks through Amazigh villages and among fruit and nut trees.
Descend out of the mountains along a former caravan route into the historic fortified oasis of Ait Benhaddou – if this place looks familiar it’s probably because you’ve seen it on the silver screen!
Ride a camel across shifting sand dunes in Erg Chebbi at sunset, then take a night desert walk and camp in a tent under the amazing North African stars.
Hike among the towering red gorges and lush green palms of Todra Valley, passing sheer red-hued cliffs and narrow passes.
Start and end your trip in colourful Marrakech and discover the Djemaa el-Fna square and winding alleys with a local leader who knows all the secrets.

It was a fantastic trip with lots of activities. The group was small, the members came from all over the world, and we had a great team spirit. The hiking and biking tours were well chosen, as were the places we visited. Anyone who wants to get a glimpse into life in Morocco can see a lot here, not least thanks to our tour guide Mohamed.

This was nothing short of magic and one of my favourite trips I’ve ever done! Mohamed our group leader made this trip. This was my first group tour experience after solo travelling for the last 10 years and what an amazing experience it was. It completely exceeded any expectation. Everything was taken care of down to the small details to make it special and the itinerary was perfectly balanced with the amount of activity & more chilled time. All the accommodation was great & comfortable, especially the Gite. I really feel like I experienced Morocco and its culture in such a rich way, challenged myself, recharged in nature & made some friends for life along the way. A tip I would recommend for other traveler’s is to go prepared with padded cycling shorts (will make the experience overall more comfortable) and Electrolytes, especially if you’re going in the heat. I can not recommend this particular trip (or any trip with Mohamed) enough. Thank you for such a beautiful experience

I had an incredible time on my trip. My tour guide Mohamed Inti was wonderful and he consistently went above and beyond to make sure our group was comfortable, supported and well looked after. The trip included a great balance of active activities that were challenging and fulfilling as well as cultural, food, nature, and wellness experiences. I met some amazing people on this trip and I will never forget it. I am so grateful to have the experiences I had and met the people I did. This trip will have a lasting impact for me.

Challenging sometimes (especially the 1st day!) but amazing! We had the chance to see so many different landscapes in just one trip. The highlight was definitely our time in the desert. I'll never forget watching the stars , lying on the sand dunes at night! Our guide Mohammed Inti made this trip unforgettable: super friendly, caring and so knowledgeable!

The most informative and exciting trip I’ve been on! Got to do so many things in Morocco that I never would have experienced without Intrepid and my amazing tour leader!

I signed up for this trip because I wanted an active itinerary, but I ended up falling in love with Morocco too. The trip provided so much knowledge about the country, its people, and their culture. My group was a great mix of people, and I felt safe and supported the whole time.

Amazing trip! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country and its history. He took us to a ton of local spots that I wouldn’t have found if I traveled independently.

This was an excellent tour in a really remarkable country- Hiking and biking were both enjoyable and challenging- and I felt we really really got to see the country and people. If you really want to see this country and are willing to consider minor inconveniences In lodging part of the experience this trip is for you! Bring your bike shorts and a good water bottle

If you're trying to decide which trip to take, this is the one (especially if you're fortunate enough to have Hicham Bouhrazen as your guide)! Not only with you have the adventure of a lifetime, but you will leave Morocco with a far deeper understanding and appreciation for the people and culture. Every single day was filled with fun, unforgettable, breathtaking memories. It was our first trip to Morocco, but it won't be our last! It was also our first trip with Intrepid Travel, but it won't be the last.
