    Really enjoyed day 2, cycling along the Dra Valley. Really enjoyed the day of the big climb and seeing the gorge. The last 2 hotels before returning to Morocco were lovely, especially the first of these.

    Each day brought a new highlight but specifics that will last are the cycle through the Todra Gorge, the camel ride and stay over in nomadic tents, sunset and sunrise and then cycle ride. Cycle descent on final day was incredible- loved this too

    Louise

    Asked on February 12th, 2025

    How likely is it that all trips will happen? I was hoping to do this tour in September at the end of a 2 month trip. I'm trying to line up with either Sept 20 or 27. A lot of other bookings will rely on the timing of this trip and I don't want to risk the trip being cancelled if you don't manage to attract enough people.

    Tour Details

      Both our September 20th and 27th 2025 departures are guaranteed departures. We have 3 people booked for our September 20th departure and 6 people already booked for our September departure.
