This trip is suitable for regular and reasonably fit bikers. Mainly biking on hard pack tracks, the route is not overly technical but there are enough climbs to offer a challenge. We begin our biking with an exploration of the magnificent Todra Gorge. Following a mixture of hard pack and tarmac roads we cross the Tizzi Tazazart (2270m/7448ft) and enjoy a great descent to the traditional village of Nekob. Then, after a visit to the oasis town of Zagora on the edge of the Sahara, we turn north through the 'Valley of the 1000 Kasbahs', where groves of olives, figs, dates and amends contrast strikingly with the desert we have left behind. Escape and experience a journey to the pink and ochre colored mountains of the Jebel Saghro!
There are also some single-track options throughout for fitter, technically adept bikers. We will stay in comfortable hotels each night, some of which have pools. Vehicle support always available. Average 60 km/37 miles per day. Tour Itinerary: Day 1: Upon arrival to Marrakech and transfer to Hotel or Riad; you meet your guide for the preparation of your departure.
