The pedaling ‘boost’ provided by an e-bike gives more options, allowing less confident or fit cyclists to ride routes that they may otherwise consider too tough for their physical ability.
MAROC NATURE is proud to be the first company in Morocco to own a complete fleet of E-bikes and open up new horizons for you!
Tahnaoute - Ourika
Meet your guide at your hotel and drive south towards Tahnaout and the foothills of the Atlas Mountains at 940m high. After bike attribution and preparation our ride can start! We will ride a short flat section before testing our physical abilities on a long and challenging climb up to Tadmamt Pass at 1800m high. As we get higher, we can enjoy the superb views of the contrasting Haouz plain far north and the imposing summits of the Atlas Mountains just above us. We will carry you on riding a nice track heading east to overhang the amazing Ourika Valley. A mixture of trails and track will lead us to the bottom of the luxurious valley where our biking day ends. A short transfer will brings us back to Marrakech and your hotel.

Your Guide
Our guides are all very experienced guides from Morocco. Don’t worry, they speak English, Moroccan, Arabic, and French. Your guide for the day will meet you at your hotel in the morning and will stay with you until the end of the tour back at your hotel. When they first meet you in the morning, they will brief you on the day ahead, the weather, safety, and the use of your bike. Please pay attention. They are sharing this information so that you can get the most from the day. Throughout the day, your guide will tell you about the landscapes you’re cycling through, the villages, and what life is like for the people who live there. Our guides are also knowledgeable first-aiders if there’s an injury. If there are any mechanical issues with your bike, your guide will do their best to solve the problem.
Your Bike
If you choose to rent one of our road bikes, we guarantee your bike will be in perfect working condition. All rental packages include a helmet and standard pedals. If you use SPD pedals, please let us know when you complete your booking. We’ll make sure that we set your bike up the way you want it to enjoy your day out with us.
Food During Your Tour
You won't have to worry about food or drink. We will take care of everything. Mineral water will be supplied all day long. We also bring a mixture of dry fruits to refuel your energy. We organize an authentic lunch stop at a Berber family house in the middle of a mountain village. Moroccans love food! And, love to share food! You will not leave hungry.
Assistance
