Marrakech – Morocco is more than just bustling souks, historic medinas, and golden deserts—it’s also a playground for cycling enthusiasts. From the rugged peaks of the High Atlas to the vast silence of the Sahara, the country offers routes that challenge, inspire, and reward.
One of the most exciting new adventures, recently shared by Morocco Explores tourism page, is the Route of Caravans, a 1,300-mile (2,100 km) traverse stretching from Tiznit in the south to Tangier in the north.
Following ancient caravan tracks, desert trails, and scenic dirt roads, this route connects Morocco’s diverse landscapes, from the Anti-Atlas mountains to the Sahara, and onward to the rolling hills of the High Atlas.
Cyclists can expect a mix of technical challenges, remote beauty, and cultural immersion, with stops in small towns and villages along the way.
For those seeking shorter rides, Morocco has a wealth of options. The winding roads of the Rif Mountains offer lush scenery and technical climbs, while coastal paths near Essaouira and Agadir provide refreshing sea breezes and spectacular Atlantic views.
Urban cycling is also gaining popularity in cities like Marrakech and Casablanca, where guided tours navigate historic districts, vibrant markets, and modern streets.
Beyond the physical experience, cycling in Morocco allows riders to connect with the country’s rich culture. Sharing tea with locals in Berber villages, exploring hidden kasbahs, or camping under the desert stars transforms a simple ride into a journey through Morocco’s history and heart.
If you’re an adrenaline seeker, a road-tripper, or a cultural explorer, Morocco promises an unforgettable cycling experience, where every turn of the wheel uncovers a new story.
