SUMMARY:Morocco - Dirt Merchant Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for an exotic\, far-away adventure? Then get ready to fall in love with Morocco and everything it has to offer. \nNew for 2026! Sweet Skills has partnered with Big Mountain Bike Adventures to offer a co-ed mountain biking holiday to one of the world’s most exciting and culturally rich destinations. \nYour Journey Begins in Marrakech\nThe trip starts in Marrakech\, a mesmerizing 1\,000-year-old city where street life\, history\, and culture collide in vibrant harmony. As the sun sets\, the legendary Jemaa el-Fnaa square will be explored—alive with musicians\, street performers\, food vendors\, and artisans. It’s an unforgettable introduction to the heart and soul of Morocco. \nLeslie Kehmeier photo\nRide the Atlas Mountains\nThe riding begins in the majestic Atlas Mountains\, the highest mountain range in North Africa. Over six days\, riders will explore a dramatic landscape on two wheels—riding desert singletrack and ancient dirt paths that wind through remote Berber villages. Rolling into a hidden mountain town that’s seen few tourists before\, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into another era. \nCulture\, Camaraderie\, and Connection\nAlong the journey\, warm greetings from local Berber children and villagers are often received—adding to the sense of welcome and authenticity. Evenings are spent under a canopy of stars\, sipping mint tea or enjoying a cold beer\, and snacking on local olives. One evening\, the call to prayer may echo in the distance\, creating a moment that feels truly magical. \nExpert Coaching & Local Guidance\nThroughout the trip\, Morocco’s top local guides will lead the rides\, while Sweet Skills coaches will support riders with confidence-building tips and technique refinement. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills or simply soak in the surroundings\, every detail has been carefully curated for an unforgettable experience. \nLeslie Kehmeier photo\nWHAT’S INCLUDED\n8 days total / 6 days of guided mountain biking \n\nSweet Skills coaching + expert local guides\n7 nights of boutique accommodations (double occupancy)*\nMarrakech hotels\, upscale Atlas mountain guesthouses\, and a luxury tented camp\nAll breakfasts\, 5 lunches\, and 4 dinners\nMarrakech airport pickup & drop-off (on scheduled travel days)\nFull-time private shuttle transportation and truck support\nDetailed pre-departure info + trip extension assistance\n\nOptional E-MTB rental for additional fee (limited availability – only med and large now avail) \nLeslie Kehmeier photo\nThe Riding Experience\nThere will be shuttle-assisted rides along with xc pedalling.
