Morocco Outdoors
Morocco may be well known as one of Africa's top trekking destina-
tions, but the country's diverse terrain means there are many other out-
door activities on offer. Birdwatching enthusiasts, cyclists, climbers
and horse riders will all find options to challenge and excite. Another
bonus: whether you're skiing, surfing or camel trekking, between
activities you can enjoy the Moroccan culture and hospitality.
Top Activity Spots
Mountains
Hoist yourself up here for rock climbing from bouldering to mountaineering; downhill skiing and ski
trekking; wildlife spotting, including apes, sheep and leopards, all of the Barbary variety; trekking;
mountain biking; and white-water rafting.
Desert
Hotfoot it to the Sahara to take part in camel treks, moonlight dune hikes and sandboarding, and to
watch wildlife - including desert warblers and the bat-eared fennec foxes - and sleep in a Berber tent.
Coast
Hit the beach for surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking and canoeing; and for marine mammals
and bird life such as the endangered bald ibis.
