Experience the ultimate 48-hour Moroccan contrast on our 2-Day Atlas Mountains to Agafay Desert E-Bike Tour. Starting from the red city of Marrakech, this journey takes you from the snow-capped heights of the High Atlas deep into the rolling dunes of the “Stone Desert,” all with the effortless power of our premium electric mountain bikes.
This is a lifetime experience designed for adventurous souls who want to discover the authentic Berber way of life with modern convenience. You will traverse high-altitude passes, navigate the “Natural Velodromes” of the Kik Plateau, and share traditional mint tea with local families in ancient villages. From the lush greenery of the Imlil Valley to a sunset finish in the Agafay Desert, this short-format expedition delivers maximum adventure in minimum time.
This e-bike adventure takes place in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, just a short drive from the vibrant city of Marrakech. The High Atlas Mountains are a spectacular setting for a mountain biking & e-bike tour with hundreds of miles of dusty singletrack just waiting to be explored. With many years of experience guiding in the region, your local hosts can help you explore this region’s hidden riding potential.
The scenery makes for an impressive backdrop to your journey. The rugged and remote terrain has resisted the pressured of the modern world and feels like a window into a bygone era. Dramatic valleys offer vivid contrasts with the lush green irrigated fields along the valley bottom set against the barren rocky scree slopes that lead up to the snow-capped peaks.
Day 1: Imlil Trailhead to Ouirgane – Transfer to the Imlil Valley (1740m). Embark on your E-bike journey through the Azzaden Valley, climbing to the Tinzert village summit. Enjoy panoramic views of Ouirgane Park before a long, smooth descent to your mountain guesthouse for the night.
Day 2: Kik Plateau to Agafay Desert – Scale the limestone Kik Plateau for a bird’s-eye view of the Atlas range. Visit the ancient village of Tizi Ouadou for mint tea before descending to the shimmering Lalla Takerkoust Lake. Finish your ride across the desert tracks of Agafay for a sunset transfer back to Marrakech.
Essential Equipment*
*we recommend packing the following items
Energy cycling gels offer a quick form of crabs replenishment. Most contain the simple crab sugar, which is the fastest form of energy to replace glycogen. It’s suggested that people who cycle at a moderate intensity for more than 90 minutes, need to replace between 30g and 65g of carbohydrates per hour and we would thoroughly recommend bringing some of these with you, as well as some energy bars.
During this e-mtb adventure, you will be staying in Berber guest house in the Berber village, but we can also update the accommodation suits your needs.
