Route of Caravans: Morocco Traverse (South)
Introducing the first half of the forthcoming “Morocco Traverse” bikepacking route. The
700 mile Route of Caravans is a tour through the wondrous southern half of Morocco,
from its coastal plain to the High Atlas. Beginning within Tiznit’s old medina, the route
follows mostly dirt roads and piste as it climbs into the mesmerizing Anti-Atlas. It then
dips into the Sahara and follows caravan passages through oases and arid hills before
ascending the mighty Atlas. Full route guide at
