Morocco - High Atlas Expedition (incl. mountain biking)

Although just a short flight away, Morocco seems like a world apart from life in the UK.  This exhilarating 21 day expedition, suitable for DofE, offers a chance to explore the cultural and geographical diversity of Morocco. 

Bike through the stunning Ait Bougamez Valley.  Undertake a challenging Gold DofE expedition.  Trek through Berber homeland.  Participate in a worthwhile community project.  Finally, return to Marrakech to watch the snake charmers in the Medina and explore the colourful souks before heading home.
