In this bicycle tour, our non-profit Pikala gives you the experience of discovering Marrakech differently. We train Moroccan youth to give you more insight into Moroccan daily life and real Moroccan Culture.
You will cycle through different areas of Marrakech like the historic city centre 'Medina' and the new town 'Gueliz'. On our way, we will pass some of the highlights of the city like the Koutoubia, the Kasbah, and the Agdal gardens, but even more important is to take you to parts of the city where you wouldn't come normally.
You will visit a public bakery and the traditional bathhouse called the Hammam (we do not go in the Hammam). visit the enormous second-hand market, and the Zaouia de Sidi Bel Abbès one of the seven Saints of Marrakech, to finish the tour in our Pikala Cafe ( Hibiscus tea or Mint tea and sweets are included in the tour), The youth that we train will give you more explanation about growing up in Morocco, the importance of the family, and how to deal with religion and modernization.
The tour is a cultural and personal introduction to get a better understanding of Moroccan life.
Last but not least, it's great fun!
Other things to note
Casual clothes in which you feel free and comfortable. Be careful with long dresses or skirts!
Moroccan traffic is organised chaos. At first sight, it looks difficult but you'll discover how flexible it is
