Bike to the Berbers
This ride through the villages and Kasbahs of the Atlas and Anti Atlas is a fantastic journey out of the summer months when this whole region is scorching hot. We drive across the Atlas Mountains and the Tichka pass. Our route starts in Ourzazat city and quickly takes us through Berber villages where we will meet and stay with the different tribes have lived here for millennia. We ride the volcanic ridge of Saghro and pass through the beautiful and lush Draa valley. Onwards and we find ourselves in really remote mountain valleys. We ride into oasis, through almond groves and some incredible gorges. This stress free and moderate ride is a perfect to way to discover a new and unaffected side of the Atlas, the Ante Atlas and Southern Morocco.
