On the Marrakech Desert Tour, you will explore the Palmeraie oasis with a local guide. Cycle through the desert-like landscape and discover the hidden beauty of Marrakech. You could say that the theme of this tour is “how to survive in the desert.” You will learn all about the history of the oasis and how the locals have survived there for the past 1,000 years.

What will you get to see on the Marrakech Desert tour?

Our guide will take you to the following places, among others:

  • Palmeraie oasis
  • The old irrigation system
  • Traditional villages
  • Communal village furnace
  • Zelige (traditional tile workshop)
  • …and much more!

You will meet the guide at our meeting point in the Medina, this is where the adventure begins. After about 15 minutes of cycling, you’ll land at the Palmeraie oasis. You will cycle past posh villas and huge castles and then take the off-track roads to explore small villages in the heart of the oasis. Here locals still live and you’ll learn about traditions and daily life.

This is the perfect way to learn more about the customs of the locals. Among other things, we will pass by the ancient irrigation system, where you will discover how precious water is to them. You’ll also visit the communal village oven and a traditional tile workshop, also called Zelige, to learn more about Moroccan handicrafts. And why are palm trees sacred here? The guide will know how to tell you all about it.

Amazing ride with very kind guides. They did it really well. I just wouldn’t call it a desert, because it isn’t. You mostly cycle through an oasis, but it was really fun.”

We went to Palmeraie, just the two of us, with guide Simon. It was a beautiful trip!

Het was een fijne fietstocht buiten Marrakech, de gids wist veel te vertellen en hebben verschillende dorpjes en de Palmeria gezien.

Review Person

We chose this tour to be a little bit outside of Marrakech and that’s exactly what we got. The group was small, the guide gave enough information of the surroundings. We had a nice lunch. The return into town was top: we went zigzagging through all the narrow roads. It was marvellous!

Review Person

Really nice tour, nice to see the difference between thr rich and poor people in the palmeraie area and the story about the oasis. Good guide, nice meal with the berbers

Simo was a great guide who took us to the oasis. We also had tea in a small Maroccan village where we walked around while Simo explained about daily life. Very nice trip’
