The Best 5-Day Gravel Tours in Morocco
Five days is the best first real gravel trip to Morocco — long enough to cross the Atlas, ride the great valleys, and finish at the desert or the sea, short enough to fit a standard week. Here are the best 5-day tours, including our flagship 5-Day Atlas Gravel Tour.
Why 5 days
Five days is the sweet spot for a first proper trip. You cross the Atlas, ride the great valleys — Ounila, Dades, Todra or the Draa — and finish somewhere genuinely different, with a rest day either side at home. It is the trip most riders come back from ready to book the longer expedition. See how many days you need.
The flagship: 5-Day Atlas Gravel Tour
Our best first multi-day. The High Atlas foothills, the passes above Ouirgane and Asni, the Ourika and Ounila valleys, and a real sense of the range — fully supported, with manageable climbing that steps up over the week. The 5-Day Atlas Gravel Tour.
Marrakech to Ouarzazate Adventure
The kasbah corridor: over the Atlas, the Ounila Valley Piste, Telouet’s Glaoui kasbah, the UNESCO ksar of Ait Benhaddou, and down to Ouarzazate. The Marrakech to Ouarzazate Adventure.
Atlas to the Sea Gravel Adventure
Mountains to the Atlantic — the Atlas foothills, argan country, and a finish at the coast in Essaouira. A brilliant point-to-point that ends with the ocean. The Atlas to the Sea Gravel Adventure.
What is included
A lead guide and a mechanic, a support vehicle carrying water, food, luggage and spares, four nights’ accommodation, all meals, water and snacks, and transfers from Marrakech. Bike rental optional. Read the holidays guide and how to plan your first trip.
