Marrakech Gravel Cycling
Marrakech is where Moroccan gravel cycling begins. The city sits on the edge of the Haouz plain with the High Atlas wall rising to the south, and a web of pistes — Agafay, Lalla Takerkoust, the Kik Plateau, Asni, Ouirgane, Ourika — within an hour’s ride or transfer. Whether you want a single sunset ride, a weekend overnight or a full expedition across the Atlas, this is the place to start.
Why base in Marrakech
Easy airport access, a range of accommodation from riads to hotels, bike rental and build support, and the widest variety of riding of any Moroccan base — from easy stone-desert loops to 2,000 m pass days.
Day rides from Marrakech
Nine of our day rides start from the Marrakech area, covering every difficulty from the Agafay sunset ride to the Tizi n’TTest Loop.
Going further
Turn a day ride into a weekend with a Marrakech overnight, or commit to a 4-day expedition into the High Atlas and Ouirgane.
