Morocco Biking ~ Butterfield and Robinson · Biking and Walking Since 1966

Activity Level: E-M
Start / Finish: Ouarzazate / Marrakech

The Land Where the Sun Sets

Morocco is a journey of the mind and spirit as much as one of geography. As you cross the sun-baked Saharan dunes, ascend the soaring High Atlas Mountains, a strange sensation creeps over you. Don’t worry, it’s not heat exhaustion (our van will keep your thirst thoroughly slaked), but rather a deepening connection with this amazing place as it seeps into your soul. We believe a place like Morocco is best enhanced by local characters sharing their stories and lives, and after more than a decade here, we’ve earned plenty of friends. From souk to Kasbah to remote Berber village, we’ve got the authentic experiences covered. Unleash you inner nomad here.

		Dar Ahlam La Maison des Rêves, Skoura Located within the palm groves of Skoura, this renovated kasbah features serene guest rooms, a gorgeous pool, and views of the Atlas Mountains. It ranks as a most luxurious oasis in our books; in fact, our Regional Director for Morocco reports that it is the very best he has seen in his 12 years in the country
		A Night in the Desert, Iriqui Lake Our private Berber Camp in the middle of the desert is not just magical and romantic—it’s also very comfortable. The camp features double and twin private tents furnished with rich carpets, warm blankets and very comfy beds, so you’ll sleep like a Berber and a baby at the same time!
		Kasbah Tamadot Resort, Asni Once owned by an Italian antique collector and interior designer, this unique mountain retreat is tucked away in the fabulous Imlil Valley. Dominated on all sides by the High Atlas Mountains and the Jbel Toubkal (the second highest peak of all Africa at 4,167 m/2.58 mi.), it is surrounded by 20 hectares of beautiful rose gardens, almond groves and fruit trees. The lodge also features an incredible spa. Butterfield & Robinson is proud to be the only biking company accepted by the property.
		La Sultana, Marrakech We stay two nights at the beautiful La Sultana. This palace is formed by four riads with different character and charm. Craftsmen and local artists worked three years to give this property all the authenticity and luxury Morocco could offer. Located in the heart of the medina inside the wall near the Royal Palace in the Kasbah neighborhood. You can see and almost “visit” the Saadians Tombs from the roof top! Your biggest dilemma will be whether to wander into the souks or lounge poolside with a long cool drink.
