Bike Across Morocco
Pedal through magical, exotic, mysterious and cultured Morocco
Discover a modern Morocco that still cares and displays the rich culture of its past. Situated at the meeting point of many different worlds – European and African, Muslim, Christian, and Jewish, Atlantic and Mediterranean, Eastern and Western – Morocco is a thrilling place to experience history, architecture, spirituality, and tradition. On the coast, we engage in the procession of little fishing town after little fishing town with colonial forts in between. In the interior lands, the splendors of the Blue City!
This 9-day journey explores the vibrant, friendly culture as we wind our way south over the hilly landscape, visiting the top destinations of northern Morocco including Tetouan, Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes, and Ifrane. We will stroll through bustling markets, see the famous tanneries in Fes’s huge medina, enjoy the surreal beauty of Chefchaouen’s blue-painted old town, and savor the delicious, flavorful cuisine. We’ll end our tour in Fes, so you can choose to extend your stay or venture south to the desert!
