Along the way, we cross several Berber villages, where we have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture and take in the stunning architecture of traditional homes.
We take a break for lunch in the village of Ait Hamd, where we can refuel and rest before continuing on our journey.

Early in the morning, we set out on an adventure to the Valley of Roses, known for its rugged beauty and picturesque Berber villages. As we ride through the valley, we are struck by the awe-inspiring beauty of the Kasbahs and houses built in the traditional Pisa style. Our journey takes us across a river, where we will have to wade through the water and then tackle a steep pass to reach the neck of Taalouite and the false arid plateau, a land of contrasting colors. This leads us to the famous Dades Valley, where we will pass through several Berber villages before reaching the valley for lunch.

We set out early in the morning, leaving our lodging behind as we embark on an adventure through the rugged Saghro region. The massive Saghro awaits us, as we make our way through its winding valleys. The valleys, which have long been a haven for nomads, are a sight to behold. We follow the winding trails, passing by beautiful oases and riding easily on any track throughout the valley.
As we journey deeper into the Saghro, we come across the nomadic Berber tribe of Ait Atta. They welcome us with open arms and we are able to experience a glimpse of their traditional way of life. The scenery is breathtaking, as we take in the magnificent views of villages lost in the middle of the vast landscape.
For those seeking an even more thrilling experience, there is the option to take on single track trails. These trails lead us to our final destination, a camp next to a small, picturesque village.
The combination of the thrill of the ride, the rugged natural beauty, and the chance to experience the traditional way of life of the nomads, makes this a truly unforgettable mountain biking experience. Each twist and turn of the trail unveils a new surprise, and the journey through the Saghro region is one that will stay with us forever.

As the morning sun rises, we depart on our journey through the Saghro region, crossing several villages that are less affluent. The scarcity of water is evident in these areas, highlighting the harsh living conditions of the local inhabitants.
As we progress on our journey, we have the opportunity to take on single track trekking trails. These trails offer us panoramic views of the massive Saghro, and we are able to take in the natural beauty of the region from a different perspective.
We eventually arrive in the village of Ait Assaka Do Ouzzine for lunch, where we take a break to rest and recharge. Later, we continue our journey on a single track, taking in exceptional landscapes and different reliefs. The journey is breathtaking and we find ourselves in awe of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
As the day comes to a close, we set up camp at the foot of Mount Saghro. The overnight camping experience is an opportunity to truly immerse ourselves in the Saghro region, and to appreciate the natural beauty of the area under the stars.
Approximately 55 km MTB
As we wake up on the last day of our mountain biking adventure, we gear up for a beautiful descent through the valley. The descent takes us through villages located at the foot of Saghro, and we ride on winding trails that offer an opportunity to take in the local culture and way of life.
However, the journey is not over yet, as we still have one final ascent to tackle. The climb is worth it as we reach the summit, the view of the palm Nkoub is breathtaking. We take our time to soak in the view, capturing memories that will last a lifetime.
Once we finish the last ascent, we load our bikes and embark on our journey back to Marrakech. We have lunch on the road, and reach our destination in the evening.
