Overview

The High Atlas mountains in Morocco offer a true mountain gravel experience: from high mountain passes and plateaus to the remote valleys where the caravans transported goods in ancient times. This is not just a gravel trip, it’s an immersion in the local culture. You will bring back home a good looking tan and a deep understanding of the Atlas region.
