Everything about our Moroccan adventure is intriguing, exotic, exciting and daring - kind of like riding a camel. In Morocco you'll savor tagines and sugary mint tea, haggle with local merchants in Marrakech and be mesmerized by Berber music. You'll hike to a rustic village accessible only by foot in the Atlas Mountains. Spin past sun-splashed olive groves to the sea. And yes, ride a camel down the Essaouira beach at twilight. Chances are while on other vacations you've beached, skied, swam, hiked, maybe you've even biked with us before. But come to Morocco and your non-camel vacations just won't compare.

  • Pedal through an exotic landscape more accustomed to camels than cyclists
  • Marrakech's D'jemaa el Fna, a busy marketplace brimming with snake charmers, soothsayers, herbalists and musicians
  • Hike to a Berber village in the Atlas Mountains accessible only by foot and see traditional life
  • Ride a camel down the Essaouira beach at twilight
  • Luxuriate at L'Heure Bleue Palais with spectacular ocean views
