Bikepacking Through Morocco’s Most Amazing Canyon
After a few days of well deserved rest we start our approach towards the Sahara Desert. We ride through the most amazing canyon we have ever seen. Palm tree groves, picturesque villages, friendly locals and steep dramatic cliffs set the stage for a unique experience. When night falls we find a one of a kind camp location that turns out to be somewhat dangerous. The next morning we are invited by a local man to explore an ancient village. We walk through the crumbling maze of alleyways and get a fascinating glimpse into how his ancestors lived in this area. The road continues, becoming sparser with every mile…

Good video. I've been to Morocco 5 times. Once we drove from Marrakech to Setti Fatma, the scenery and terrain were absolutely breathless.

Yes, we went hiking in Sweden, something completely different from cycling. Again more nature, less civilization, more wilderness.. more fantastic places. Before I went many years cycling up north.
All I can say is "Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience." Be Blessed and safe.

You are really waking my wanderlust again. You have become very accomplished film makers - everything is just right here - tge music, the dialogue, the shots. And you exude warmth and appreciation for the places and people you meet. This is the best yet. I was disappointed when you left Iceland (i understand why) but this is even better.

You guys just stole my heart for the thousandth time. Breathtaking. Onward.
Beautiful video! Brought back some beautiful Moroccan cross country memories, and seeing you dealing with the hydrating system also brought back some terrible stomach bug memories lol! You guys should think about getting yourselves a "Steripen", they are portable UV lamps for hikers/travelers, I got my first one 10 years ago following some Australian people's advice and never looked back since, handier and more efficient than filters in most situations. Take it easy guys, looking forward to the next epidosde

Great video of an amazing land. I hope to tour Morocco next year for a few moths and your videos are giving me a lot of information. Love the views of the terrain and the contacts with the people. 0:32 - "how that happened". A bit of physical geography insight - those boulders are not stacked on top of each other. They are granite tors. The granite is formed as molten magma that upwells into the crust from deeper in the earth. It cools and solidifies before reaching the surface, thus it is not volcanic. The granite is very hard and resists erosion. Mostly it erodes from temperature changes (very hot days, cold nights) and this causes it to round off, and shatter along lines of weakness hence resulting in the boulder shapes. In time the fragments drop as rubble and break down to granitic sand, while the boulders get more and more eroded and weathered. We have similar boulderfields in our green and verdant ranges here in central Victoria (Australia) and features like the Devils Marbles in the outback deserts.

Thank you for the in depth explanation! Really interesting to know how it really happened. We knew the weren't stacked but we can totally understand how myths (like Hanuman in India) arise of them being placed like that by supernatural powers. Best wishes

Very interesting one! We can all benefit from the fact that you that you know a lot about architecture. To see these houses from the inside and how people lived in them was very interesting. In such regions, innovations in terms of construction technology will probably take longer to establish themselves. The old has already stood the test. Thanks for sharing - take care in Marokko.

knowing how much time Dutch people spend on bikes and exploring the world, I think the chances are actually pretty high of them running into fellow Dutch cyclists! As a Canadian I'm always a bit envious of how much time Dutch people spend exploring the world via bikes and sailboats. I think half the people we have met who have sailed to the west coast of Canada from elsewhere are Dutch!

I really enjoyed riding through that gorge last year, if you keep going south in mauritania you have another amazing oasis, Tirjit, near the town of Atar, there is a small fee and you can camp there, most likely you will be alone, you can get there with the amazing iron train ride
