Welcome to Marrakech, a city where ancient heritage and modern energy meet at every corner. With Marrakech Green Wheels, this cycling tour isn’t just sightseeing; it’s a meaningful encounter with local life, led by a team of young local tour leaders.
Our small-group approach ensures a more personal, comfortable experience, allowing genuine interactions with your local tour leader and the community.
We start our ride in the old town, near the Royal Palace - a majestic 8th-century landmark that still shapes the daily life of the surrounding areas.
As we dive into the Medina, the real Marrakech opens up before you. We will cycle through lively souks, artisan quarters, family-owned shops, and narrow streets where generations have lived, worked, and shared stories. Along the way, We will discover iconic landmarks such as the Koutoubia Mosque, Riad Zitoun, and the Mellah quarter, but the beauty lies just as much in the people you will meet and the moments you will share
We continue along the impressive 12th-century ramparts; a perfect moment for photos and a deeper look at how the city has evolved over centuries.
Our tour also takes you into the city’s quieter corners, community-rooted spaces:
Zaouia Al Abassiya, a serene 16th-century spiritual sanctuary still cherished by locals and a special traditional ceramics workshop, where artisans shape clay with techniques passed down through generations. Watch how clay becomes art through skill, patience, and imagination. These stops offer a genuine exchange with the people who preserve Marrakech’s living traditions.
As we continue towards Gueliz, the scenery transforms dramatically. Built in the early 1900s, this district shows Marrakech from a modern, local perspective: wide boulevards, green parks, the impressive train station, and the Royal Theatre. Here, the city’s new generation shapes its contemporary identity through cafés, creativity, and everyday life.
We finish with a relaxing break in a cosy Medina café. Enjoy Moroccan mint tea or fresh juice while your guide shares personal stories, insider recommendations, and insights into our mission to empower youth through cycling, culture, and sustainable city tourism.
