We did a bike ride through the palm oasis. Our cycling guide was Jawad. He was very professional and guided us well. We had nice informative conversations with him during the bike ride and learned a lot about life here. An activity that is definitely recommended, but with lots of sun cream.;-)
Beautiful activity, discovery of a new facet of Marrakech and some interesting historical information! A thoughtful guide and a visit to the streets of the Medina less frightening than expected!
If you love cycling this is the best experience We booked all available tours : Agadir & Marrakech city tour en de Marrakesh Oasis tour Despite the reservation gone wrong and the start of Ramadan in Agadir, they made an effort to find a solution... Agadir is a bit hilly, there we got ebike, Marrakech was city tour with regular bike and the Oasis tour outside the city with mountain bike You need quite some cycling experience in the busy and hectic city life of Marrakech Aitali was for us the perfect guide , quiet , safe and helpful clear english...a topper Also the other guides were very friendly and helpful. The less popular oasis tour to the Palmerai outside the city is definitely recommended if you enjoy cycling, nature and tranquility... the local stop boj the locals really charmed us
A great time with a great guide! The pleasure of riding outside the city and discovering another facet of Morocco.
This was amazing. If you’re traveling to Morocco and want to get out of the city for a couple of hours this experience was very immersive. We booked the desert tour, which was more than we expected. Be mindful that you’ll be biking through the busy streets of the Medina to get in and out, I’m not the best at bike riding but I felt safe as long as you’re aware of your surroundings on the busy road. We learned small facts about the culture and were hosted but this super kind family that prepares homemade snacks and tea. 10/10 if you want a comfortable physical activity! Our guide was super smart and a kind personality❤️
It was nice to ride the small part to leave the city center and experience the local traffic. After that, the chosen route is beautiful. The bikes were nice. The guide too. The "snacks", meaning local olives, mseme, tea, local olive oil and homemade butter, tasted delicious. I could have done a longer route and get more detailed explanations during the tour. Still highly recommended.
Very relaxing brake from the busy city with it's noisy car traffic. The two guides made us participants feel comfortable and one of them provided interesting historical and socioeconomic background information on the area. The amount and depth of information was appropriate for the audience. Nice simple breakfast in a barn. The route was easy for people 50-60 years old who are used to cycling. The tour is just brilliant in its simplicity.
Exciting bike ride - table football in the village - cozy, delicious breakfast - baking bread in a clay oven - ancient water systems
Super customer friendly and very good guide with a lot of knowledge of Morocco Relaxed atmosphere at the start Good bikes and neatly and patiently adjusted Nice to get out of the city for a while
We took the tour in the “palme grove”. Friendly bike ride and very friendly French-speaking guide. The departure is right in the medina. driving there is quite stressful, and sometimes even dangerous. The walk itself is not of enormous interest. We can't see anything of the villas hidden behind their high walls and the palm grove is sad to see (waste, few trees). The quad ride was much more fun (and just a few euros more)
