Cycling from Tangier to Sidi Ifni in Morocco. The 6th edition of the piste route and 5th edition of the road route will again start in Tangier October 5th 2025. The route brings riders trough the Rif and Atlas mountains to the Sahara desert.

The routes of the Morocco Bike-Adventure brings you to rural places tourists rarely see. It doesn’t follows petrol station shops and sometimes you spend the night under millions of stars. The Rif mountain, the Atlas mountains and the Sahara desert are part of the routes.

Where we meet, the start

Tangier, Morocco: a port city on the Strait of Gibraltar in Africa, only a few kilometers south of Tarifa, Spain and yet, a world away. The same place that was used in the scenery of the James Bond film, The Living Daylight.

Riders feedback

I need to send you a wholehearted THANK YOU, for your fantastic route: I had planned to cycle in Morocco and stumbled across your MBA site, and your insights have made this exactly the adventure I had hoped for: a perfect combination of mountains, piste and awesome roads. 

Nb your Road section 12 were yet gave me another masterpiece: the big smile it gave me

.

when I rejected the temptation to follow the signs to Sidi Ifni and instead followed your route with perfect small roads, that curved through the landscape and the last hit from the dragoons tail with the nasty hills and crosswind the required a last dig deep in my resources 👌
