Agadir Bike Tour: Coastline and Backcountry Cycling in Morocco
Pedal the Atlantic edge of southern Morocco on an Agadir bike tour that combines flat coastal cruising with accessible backcountry lanes. Ideal for riders of most fitness levels, routes range from one-hour city loops to half-day excursions into argan-studded hills.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start early
Morning temperatures are cooler and wind is usually lighter—plan departures before 10am to avoid midday heat.
Bring sunscreen and a buff
Sun is strong even when temperatures feel mild; a buff also keeps sand out of your face on windy stretches.
Check your bike type
Request a hybrid or gravel-capable bike for backcountry sections; full-suspension for rougher off-road options.
Carry cash for cooperatives
Small argan cooperatives and market stalls may not accept cards—bring dirhams for purchases and tips.

Conservation Note
