Morocco’s High Atlas and desert pistes offer some of North Africa’s best off-road riding.
The High Atlas around Marrakech offers a huge network of mule tracks and singletrack descents through Berber villages, walnut groves and terraced fields — ideal for intermediate to advanced riders.
For gravel riders, the pistes linking the Agafay Desert to the Atlas foothills offer long, flowing routes with big mountain views and minimal traffic.
A support vehicle is standard on most guided rides here, meaning you can push harder on the technical sections knowing a lift is available if needed.
Spring and autumn offer the best trail conditions; summer heat at lower elevations can be punishing, so guided rides often shift higher into the mountains during those months.
Ready to experience this for yourself? These handpicked tours match the guide above — each runs with experienced local guides and private transport.
