Mustafa and Abdul provided such a great experience for my wife and me during our 3 day mountain bike tour of the Atlas mountains. Mustafa knew the region very well and guided us through amazing trails and villages. In addition to the biking, he was able speak in great detail about the history and people of the region. Abdule provided delicious traditional cuisine 3 meals/day, we never went hungry. He was also able to meet out dietary needs (vegetarian). I would highly recommend booking through Mountain Bike Morocco!
I booked a solo 5 day single track mountain bike adventure in the Atlas Mountains. I used one of their bikes which was in great condition but was a bit large for me. I’m small and anticipated this being an issue. Regardless, I made it work and it only cost me walking my bike a little more than I would’ve liked. If you are anticipating only riding single track you should prepare yourself for a decent amount of gravel and road biking as well. The trails are not maintained like they are in the US or Europe and are more animal trails. All in all I would highly recommend booking a mountain bike tour in the Atlas Mountains as a way to explore the Berber villages in a unique way. Additionally if you are short on time you can definitely get the highlights/best days in 3 days. Thanks Mountain Bike Morocco!
I have cycled all over the world, and this is absolutely the most professional, attentive, and courteous group I have worked with. The bikes are top-notch, the food was delicious, and the tour over the mountains was spectacular! Highly recommended
We did the day trip in the Atlas Mountains and it fantastic. Mohamed was a guide and he couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would definitely do again but will be bringing my padded short with me next time!!
Enjoyed the challenge of this MTB day trip in the Atlas Mountains. Transfers from Marrakesh ok but wasnt aware we had to do an Argan Oil co-op stop on the way there. MTB themselves were old and averagely maintained...that said the first hour out the shop was entirely uphill so no gear changing needed....only for those wuth good fitness! Trip was a hard 900m climb up, downhill ish to lunch then climb back up and exhilarating downhill back to the shop. Shame it was an out and back and 90% on road as we'd hoped for some trails. If your looking for a challenging ascent, a tasty tagine lunch and a fast run back to the shop then this is for you. If your expecting mountain trails and off road MTB look elsewhere.
Guided mountain biking in the high Atlas mountains. About 4 hours of biking including stops for tea and lunch. Varied terrain (at my request). I got picked up in Marrakesh and driven to Imlil. They set me up with a bike and helmet. The bike was in top shape - dual suspension, dropper post, and so on. I had no mechanicals. Rashid, the guide, was very knowledgeable and fun to hang with. You cannot rely on route maps as the earthquake in 2023 changed everything. He set the route based on my experience level and what kind of riding I wanted to do. Just a fantastic experience.
Had a great day out with Rashid as my guide. He made us a great day for me. Bikes are top quality. Highly recommend. So much to ride you need a week here not just a day.
The trip was amazing! Picked up in a very comfortable car! Our tour guide was amazing! Lunch was perfect! Best day of our trip and would highly recommend!
We were a group of 6, 2 adults and 4 teenagers. A couple of us cycle in London. So it was a big adventure to take to the mountains with Raschid. A couple of us were taken up in the van. The rest of us did a mix of cycling and walking our bikes up. The crew were so patient and encouraging. It was amazing to be up in the mountains, the air is so clean. We then all managed to cycle the flatter parts. Lunch was the best meal we’ve had here - then food tastes so much better when you have pushed yourself to the limit! The kids loved racing down the mountain. It was a fantastic day that we will never forget. You don’t have to be a seasoned cyclist but you do need to be fit. Cycling across Wandsworth feels much more dangerous at times than our adventure in the mountains. Highly recommend this trip.
I booked the Imlil Enduro Tour. It was the ride of a lifetime, ripping through berber villages, lunch was delicious, and the single track is super fun, chunky, and fast, definitely black diamond level trails. There were 2 options for enduro, 2h hike while a mule carries your bike, or the longer option to shuttle up 2k vertical ft to tizi pass. I opted for the shuttle. The ride was 17mi, 3000 vertical ft of climbing, and 5000 ft descending. Rachid was an amazing guide. The pickup in Marrakech was easy, direct from the hotel, and driver was very friendly. Highly recommend!
