Morocco is a fantastic cycling destination, offering enough tough climbs and wild places for the experienced adventure cyclist but equally plenty of nice hotels, a well established network of campsites and home comforts for someone who’s never biked in a less developed country before.

We’ve been to Morocco three times and it remains one of our favourite countries. Our initial visits were as backpackers and our third in early 2007 was for an extensive bicycle tour. You can cycle in Morocco year round although hot summer temperatures and cool winters in the north may limit your range in those seasons.
