Itinerary
Drive through desert landscapes and view hidden Berber villages where it feels like time doesn’t exist. Bike on the outskirts of the small village of Skoura at the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains and through the Almond Valley.
Bike along the road of the Oasis of Foumzguid to find camels waiting to take us into the desert sunset for an unforgettable night of dancing and feasting under millions of stars at our private Berber camp.
Cross paths with camels, goats and smiling kids on donkeys as we bike back to Skoura past kasbahs and lively local villages.
Embark on a modern-day caravan over the High Atlas Mountains following the same route travelled several centuries ago. Bike along the foothills of the Atlas Mountains amongst olive groves and passing along natural landscapes.
We head into the foothills of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa today to the remote Berber village of Around before lunch on the terrace of our local guide’s guest house: Dar Ouassaggou. Your B&R guides will keep you entertained during cocktail hour this evening with a surprise cultural event!
Bike toward the holy city of Moulay Brahim and the hidden “Plateau de Kik.” Here, an amazing picnic awaits you with fantastic views on the Lalla Takerkoust Lake.
Explore the intricate city of Marrakech lead by our famous local guide Mohamed Bouskri. We'll have lunch at his place before an amazing last night.
Enjoy a farewell breakfast at the hotel and m’a ssalama in Marrakech before your final departure.

Tour Operator
It's been almost 50 years since we made a conscious decision, on the back of a cocktail napkin, to encourage people to "slow down to see the world." Ever since, Butterfield & Robinson has been leading trips that amble where others stride, linger where others inhale, bike where others motor and sip where others quaff. In the words of Gypsy Rose Lee, a woman who, if nothing else, knew the value of doing things very, very slowly: "Anything worth doing well is worth doing slowly."
There’s so much more to B&R than the high thread count of your sheets. Our kind of luxury takes you to a place you never knew existed. It’s a feeling of freedom. A feeling of exuberance. A feeling like you don’t need a watch or a wallet and you haven’t a care in the world. Wherever we travel, we delve deep into the heart of the local culture, your meals are some of the best in your life, and your sleeps every bit as delicious. But this merely sets the stage for the magical, ineffable part of B&R—the moments of discovery—and self-discovery—that you’ll never, ever forget.
The B&R difference is the best biking and walking routes in the world’s most incredible places. It’s the most capable and genuinely friendly guides you’ll find anywhere. It’s the most interesting hotels the region has to offer. It’s amazing culinary experiences. It’s state-of-the-art equipment, great wines at dinner, a water bottle that’s always filled, route suggestions you won’t find in any guidebook, et cetera! Are you starting to get the picture?
Our Expertise
Incomparable Service
From the first phone call to the final nostalgic photo swap, we pride ourselves on anticipating and answering each and every question you might have before, during and after your trip – plus a hundred more we thought you might like to know. That way, the only surprises on your trip are good ones.
50 Years of Experience
BB&R’s been slowing down to see the world since 1966, and while a steady diet of good food, great wine and miles of biking and walking has kept us feeling sprightly, we can’t deny the truth: we’re about to turn 50. Fortunately, “mid-life crisis” isn’t in our vocabulary—in fact, we’re actually pretty excited about it.
Amazing Routes
We meticulously map out easy-to-follow route notes for our trips. By no means do you have to follow them, but if you do, we promise nothing short of spectacular (think quiet country lanes, glorious vistas and, often, being the only ones in sight). Our guides always have additional scenic routes up their sleeves, too. Up for more of a challenge? Ask and you shall receive.
Impeccable Guides
B&R guides are an exceptional group: consummate hosts, mind readers and raconteurs, among many other things. Think teachers, painters, travel writers, architects, botanists and biologists. The only documents thicker than their CVs are their passports. They’ve lived all over the world. They speak a gazillion languages. And they’re ridiculously fun.
Expert Trip Designers
Our talented team of Trip Designers are the best in the world at what they do—and what they do is turn fantasies into reality. (We thought about changing their title to “Dream Weavers,” but we didn’t want to re-print all those business cards.)
Exceptional Hotels
Winning hotels are a hallmark of B&R; we go to great lengths to find properties that are unique expressions of the region. Often that means they’ve had a previous life as a monastery or a castle. Think of them as the charming and intimate garnish atop your trip. Best of all? We’re friends with our hoteliers, which means preferential treatment for you.

Recreational
Daily biking distances usually vary from 20 to 50 km (12 to 30 mi.), with options on some days as far as 62 km (40 mi.). The terrain is generally flat, with a few hills along the way when we’re closer to the High Atlas Mountains. The difficulty of the ride often depends on which way the wind is blowing. The walking routes are mostly flat, except for our day in the Atlas Mountains.
The Bikes
You can’t enjoy a great biking trip without a really great bike. On this trip you’ll be riding customized Cannondales; there are three models to choose from to ensure you’ll have the perfect bike. We also equip you with handlebar bag, helmet and water bottle.
