   Morocco Atlas to Desert - Feb. March, April & then Sept. & October
A superb trip that takes in the Atlas Mountains and finishes at the fringes of the Sahara Desert. This is a land of big skies and stark mountain ranges.

Morocco - Road Atlas -  February 12th to February 21st 2010 - Guaranteed Departure

With its roots in Africa, but charged with eastern exoticism, Morocco represents the closest truly different destination to Britain. Morocco is a vast wilderness of towering mountains and desolate desert where rural life has hardly changed in hundreds of years. With an ever-expanding network of quiet tarmac roads throughout the Atlas Mountains & convenient flights into Marrakech from numerous UK regional airports, there’s never been a better time for road cyclists to visit this amazing country.
