About Gravel Morocco

Experience the Most Authentic Gravel Tours in Morocco

Every great journey begins with a dream. Gravel Morocco was created from a deep passion for cycling, adventure, and the desire to share the true beauty of Morocco with riders from around the world. We believe that the best gravel tours in Morocco are not just about covering kilometers—they are about discovering a country’s soul, meeting its people, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

My name is Mustapha Baakna, founder of Gravel Morocco. I was born and raised in Morocco, surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Atlas Mountains and the rich traditions of Amazigh (Berber) culture. From an early age, the mountains became my playground, teaching me resilience, respect for nature, and the joy of exploring places beyond the ordinary.

As my passion for cycling grew, I realized that Morocco offered something truly unique to gravel riders. Endless mountain tracks, ancient caravan routes, hidden valleys, remote villages, and spectacular desert landscapes make this country one of the world’s greatest destinations for adventure cycling. Yet many of these incredible places remained unknown to international cyclists.

That realization inspired me to create Gravel Morocco—a company dedicated to offering authentic gravel tours in Morocco led by local experts who know every trail, every mountain pass, and every hidden village. Today, we welcome cyclists from across the globe to experience Morocco from the saddle of a bike, discovering landscapes and cultures that few visitors ever have the chance to explore.

More Than a Cycling Holiday

At Gravel Morocco, we believe every ride should tell a story. Our routes are carefully designed to combine adventure, culture, history, and genuine human connections. Whether you’re climbing the legendary passes of the High Atlas, riding through the Anti-Atlas, exploring ancient kasbahs, or crossing the edge of the Sahara Desert, every day brings new experiences and unforgettable scenery.

Our gravel tours in Morocco are designed for cyclists of all levels, from experienced bikepackers looking for epic adventures to riders seeking a fully supported cycling holiday. We take care of the logistics so you can focus on enjoying the journey.

Every itinerary is built from years of local exploration, ensuring that you experience not only Morocco’s iconic destinations but also the hidden roads and remote communities that make this country so special.

Proudly Local

Unlike international travel companies, Gravel Morocco is proudly owned and operated by local cyclists. We live here, ride here, and continue exploring new gravel routes throughout the year.

Because we know Morocco intimately, we can offer experiences that go beyond guidebooks. We introduce our guests to family-run guesthouses, traditional Amazigh hospitality, authentic local cuisine, and communities where tourism still feels personal and meaningful.

Our guests don’t simply visit Morocco—they become part of it.

Supporting Local Communities Through Cycling

Our mission extends far beyond organizing exceptional gravel tours in Morocco. We believe that adventure tourism should create opportunities for local people and leave a positive impact wherever we ride.

Whenever possible, we work with local guesthouses, family-owned accommodations, restaurants, transport providers, mechanics, and mountain communities. Every tour contributes directly to local families and helps preserve the traditions and hospitality that make Morocco such an extraordinary destination.

Cycling has the power to connect people, cultures, and communities, and we are proud to be part of that connection.

Investing in the Next Generation of Moroccan Cyclists

One of the values that defines Gravel Morocco is our commitment to young riders.

We believe that the future of cycling in Morocco depends on inspiring the next generation. That’s why we actively support young cyclists by sharing our knowledge, encouraging participation in cycling, and creating opportunities for them to develop their skills and confidence.

Many talented young riders grow up surrounded by incredible mountains and gravel roads but have limited access to equipment, guidance, or opportunities. Through our work, we hope to inspire them to discover cycling not only as a sport but also as a path toward education, personal growth, healthy living, and future careers in adventure tourism.

As Gravel Morocco grows, our ambition is to organize community rides, cycling workshops, route development projects, and initiatives that help young Moroccans build brighter futures through sport and outdoor adventure.

For us, success isn’t measured only by the number of tours we operate—it is measured by the positive impact we create for our communities.
