Enter the Atlas On Road

The signpost says ‘Moulay Brahim’, a village named after a well-known Moroccan Sufi saint. The AXS crew will start you at the top of Moulay Brahim in the Atlas mountains. You will climb roads winding it’s way back and forth steeply up the mountainside and see spectacular views from the top. As you climb you begin to see the snow-clad mountains (seasonal). The valley between you and them is green and verdant until you hit the beautiful Kik plateau. The land has flattened out revealing the most stunning landscape – in part desolate but dotted with the occasional village.

You will see for miles across ploughed fields, barren land and terraced escarpments to the mountains beyond – they provide a glorious backdrop to this plateau. This ride provides an equal mixture of uphill and downhill leading you down and around to the infamous lake Lalla Takerkoust. Super beautiful area which is why this is the most requested tour on and off road. We finish with a delicious Moroccan lunch of chicken and vegetable tagine along with handmade baked bread, a vibrant salad nicoise, fruit, and classic mint tea overlooking the mountains we just rocked!
