Hassan Ait Baha · 12 min · Adventure Travel
Morocco's best adventure experiences — Toubkal summits, Atlas treks, mountain biking, rock climbing, sandboarding and surfing for adrenaline seekers.
Morocco is an adventure traveller's dream — a single country that packs in North Africa's highest peak, world-class mountain biking, Sahara dunes, Atlantic surf and limestone gorges. You can summit a 4,000m mountain, sandboard down a 150m dune and surf a point break in a single trip. Here are the best adventure experiences and how to build them into one.
Trekking & Hiking
- Mount Toubkal summit — 2, 3 or 4 days, the classic North African peak
- High Atlas multi-day traverses — Ait Bougmez, the Toubkal Circuit via Lac d'Ifni
- Todra Gorge and Dades Valley — gorge walks and village trails
- Rif Mountains — Akchour Waterfall and Talassemtane National Park
- Sahara trekking — multi-day camel treks into the dunes
Mountain & Gravel Biking
The Atlas is a world-class biking destination. Our Atlas mountain bike tour covers flowy singletrack and technical descents; the gravel bike adventure takes on epic multi-day traverses across the range; e-bike tours open the mountains to less hardcore riders. See our cycling hub.
Rock Climbing
Todra Gorge is Morocco's climbing heart — limestone walls up to 300m with sport and trad routes from beginner to expert. The Anti-Atlas around Tafraoute offers adventurous multi-pitch trad on granite. Bring your own rack; local guides and gear hire are available in Todra.

- Sandboarding — the Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga
- Surfing — Taghazout and Tamraght, breaks for all levels
- Kitesurf & windsurf — Essaouira's windy bay
