Our Story
What’s more fun than discovering a city by bike? Marrakech with all the little alleys and narrow streets in the old town, this is not easy. Therefore, we have set out a scenic route that leads you along all the interesting gardens of Marrakech. We start in the ‘new town’ Gueliz with wide boulevards and open avenues built by the French. From the vast olive garden of the Menara – once the summer pavilion of Moroccan sultans with the strategically important water basin that served the entire orchard with an ingenious system of sluices and irrigation canals. From the Menara a broad and sweeping boulevard Avenue Menara brings you to Les Jardins Koutoubia with the large mosque. Upon entering through the gate, you can find the 13-acre park Les Jardins de La Mamounia around the five star hotels. The greatest people of the earth, including Sir Winston Churchill stayed here. It is a beautiful art palace in Arabic Moorish style that reminds us of the old days. Then in the 18th century Mamoun – son of Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdallah – this part of the city was a wedding gift. The gardens – a large park with palm trees, orange trees, bougainvillea and roses – is accessible between 11-16 hours for non-hotel guests. But impeccably dressed; including certainly no sneakers or something as mundane as a pair of jeans. We cycle along during our challenging bike tour through the old and new town. From the Koutoubia we literally go through the old town along the Palace Dar el Bacha by the old medina and along the Zaouia of Sidi Bel Abbes, we go through the gate Bab Kechichnaar and crossing the river Oued Issil on the original palm oasis “Le Palmeraie “. Now here are mainly (walled) hotel resorts and luxury holiday resorts. After a relaxing lunch we start the journey back. The tour ends at the tropical garden designed 100 years ago by the French painter Jacques Majorelle. For a long time it was privately owned by (the late) fashion designer Yves St. Laurent.
