Lodging and Food

The quality of accommodations on our bike tours varies from very basic mountain huts “Gite”, bivouacs under tents, character guest houses and luxury hotels and lodges. In remote valleys we mainly camp or stay in “Gites”. Gite” in Morocco means basic local house where a Berber family afford us 1 or 2 rooms for sleeping and a hot shower. While camping, all equipment including good igloo tents and mattress are afforded “please bring your own sleeping bag!”. We assure that the food on the trip is as good as varied. Based on fresh local products, our chefs prepare delicious local meals like Tagine & Couscouss and of course the famous mint tea to sip without moderation! We recommend bringing a box of energy bars with you (very helpful before tough climbs!). Please let us know upon booking if you have special diet needs.
