Half-Day Mountain Bike Tour Rocky Desert (297057) EXPEDIA

Cycle down the rugged trails and through the luxuriant palm groves of Marrakech on a half-day guided mountain bike tour. Discover sleepy Berber villages where colorful Moroccan rugs are hung out to dry, and visit a local house to enjoy some dried fruit and refreshments.

Following a hotel pickup in the city, head to the mountains and valleys and see authentic Berber villages among groves of palm and date trees. After a brief safety orientation, your guide equips you with a quality, aluminum mountain bike that can make light work of the rugged trails.

Buckle on your helmet and set off behind your guide to discover the best trails, cycling between fields and houses. Take in beautiful views of the palm trees that dot the desert hills and visit the tiny settlements where the people are very welcoming.

Stop for a snack at a local house, where typical Moroccan hospitality is offered with an orange juice and dry fruits. Chat with the locals about the surrounding area and their daily lives, then hop back on your bike to continue your exploration before cycling back to the pick-up point and returning to your hotel.
