This adventure is suited for intermediate to expert cyclists/e-bikers. Participants should be comfortable cycling for long hours (up to 90 km per day), handling both steep ascents and long descents.

A strong fitness level is essential, and experience with cycling on varied terrain is highly recommended. Some sections of the ride are challenging, so it’s important to have the stamina for the journey.

To prepare, we recommend building up your stamina with regular cycling rides before the trip. Make sure you’re comfortable cycling for several hours at a time, including on different types of terrain.

It's also important to bring suitable gear, such as padded cycling shorts, a helmet, and cycling gloves. Additionally, make sure you're hydrated and follow a healthy diet to ensure you're in the best physical condition for the journey.

The weather varies depending on the season. In the desert areas, expect warm to hot temperatures during the day, and cooler evenings, especially in the Atlas Mountains.

The mornings and evenings can be quite chilly, so layering is essential. In some areas, like the Dades Valley and Todra Gorge, the weather can be a bit more unpredictable.

It's always best to check the weather forecast closer to your departure date and pack accordingly.

You’ll be provided with high-quality e-bikes designed to handle a variety of terrains, from desert paths to mountain roads.

The bikes are well-maintained to ensure a comfortable ride. If you have a preference or specific requirements, please let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Hello! I'm Mohamed. I come from a lovely village called Imlil in the Atlas mountains. It's where I live and work as a guide. I've been doing this job for over ten years now. I first got interested in nature, different cultures, and mountains when I was 16, thanks to my dad, who was also a guide. What started as a hobby became my job. Now, I'm happy to help people explore the beautiful Atlas mountains and learn about Berber culture. Looking forward to meet you!
