Bikepacking Through Morocco’s Most Amazing Canyon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- 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…

Hi Everybody! We had such a great time this stretch in Morocco, truly a unique experience! Have you ever experienced something similar, or perhaps completely different, that captivated you so much you’re still looking back at it with vivid memories? Thanks & Have a great day! E&M
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.
Lovely couple.....you are inspiration for many people.
I wish to do the same one day......love and support from india
You guys just stole my heart for the thousandth time. Breathtaking. Onward.
welcome to morroco
Amazing tour with Amazing landscapes. Thanks for sharing.
Good job, guys. I'm enjoying the music you are putting in. I think they're a nice touch and fit for the story of the episode. You guys are tough and very impressive.
Watching your videos is like watching a David Attenborough documentary 🤗 absolutely spectacular. I really feel privileged to be able to watch your videos. Thank you both so so much for sharing your life time dream of exploring the world 🌎 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is so gorgeous ! Thank you for sharing! It bring back very good memories from Moroco.
All I can say is "Wow!! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience." Be Blessed and safe.
Thanks Guys 😊 Best wishes, E&M
Wow...this would have to be one of your best videos. Such dramatic landscapes that you filmed so exquisitely. Your genuine interest in the local cultures is what really makes watching your travels so enjoyable. And your interaction with the young local man was a perfect example. Thank you so much.
i have visited morocco 55 times and spent about 3 years there , and it is an amazing place and you capture the real morocco so well !! Keith
Thanks you Keith! That is something really special to hear coming from your experience. All the very best, E&M
I get adrenaline rush when I see the way you live and enjoy the journey ❤
😊 Great to hear that! All the best!
Magical landscape and warm people welcoming 😊 Thanks for sharing your ride
the World is amazing, your videos are amazing, thankyou E&M, you are both amazing too
Your videos just keep getting better and better!
Yes yes yes you are des champions I am jalal from Morocco 🇲🇦 welcome to Rabat in my home
Thank you Jalal 😊 Best wishes!
What an epic tour and that you got a great tour of the village from a local man was once in a life time. Love how you take care of your camp sites. Looking forward to your next edition. Take care, Al
Thanks so much Al 😊 Truly incredible to get invited and explore the ruins of that village. We will remember that for a long time to come! Wishing you all the best, E&M
Increíble Marruecos
Just looking at the place I can imagine how hot the roads get you must be feeling it under your feet? Be safe and make sure that you stay hydrated, water is everything in these places. Safe travels. 👌👌
Beautiful! Well done, as always.
Really gorgeous! Take care! 😊😊
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 as usual! Mesmerizing landscapes! Cheers from Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you Omare 😊 All the Best, E&M
Thank you for your Amazon Videos.
Welcom to algeria🎉 After visiting moroco
Thanks Khaled 😊
Thank you from Toronto. The pool was amazing sight in the desert.
Super interesting how the cope in such climates!! All the best :)
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.
Great to hear that Joseph! Morocco is very scenic! Lots of beautiful shot to capture 😊 Best wishes, E&M
Maravilloso
A beautiful country, beautifully shot.
Thanks so much Timothy 😊 All the best, E&M
Once again an incredible piece of filming visually and such interesting narration. You make it look seamless and easy but I have no doubt it isn’t. A really big well done again
So enjoyable
Anthony
Thanks Anthony 🙏🏼 We had a lot of practice 😉 Happy to hear you are enjoying the vids!! All the best, E&M
Gran aventura
Hermoso
Very good enjoy your trip and safe
Ride safe mam & sir from philipines
Love you guys. An inspiration. I will be doing this soon! All the best. Sheffield England ❤❤
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
Living the life. Well done. Inspiring as always.
Great trip in our nice Morocco , i like
Thanks :)
Hi Erik and Maudi, another great episode. You two are such epic explorers. Always look forward to your vlogs. Safe travels, Peter & Miriam
Hi Guys! Thanks :) Great to hear you are continuing to enjoy the vids! All the best, E&M
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
Very beautiful views of canyons. A scenic beauty vlog, ever seen.
Thank you Rahimullah 🙏🏼 Best wishes, E&M
WOW! The best yet.
Thanks Jospeh 😊 All the Best, E&M

Ah, some trees at last, although the geology all around is just spectacular. Your cinematic skills are well used in this video especially. More power to you.
Thank you professor 😊 We also loved to see some trees! All the best, E&M
Eres perseverante
Gracias :)
Es muy bonito esto
😊
What are the chances of meeting another 2 Dutch cyclists so far away from home?😂It really is a small world! Such a wise decision not to cook in that spot, it really looked like a tinder box! Its such a fascinating place, I just love how educational your videos are👍The landscapes are just incredible👌
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!
Amazing, as ever. Chapeau!
😊 Thanks & All the best!!
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.
I find it fascinating how smart they were back then. Such an intelligent way of building in this type of landscape with the technology available. Thanks & All the best, E&M
Another amazing descent!
😊
👌👌👌
Your videos are amazing the editing and really great styles. I would like to ask could you recommend the same size duffell bag to get as yours?
Muy buen video
Gracias Gabriela 🙏🏼
So glad you decided not to cook there! Amazing terrain 😎
Thanks! Ha, yeah, pretty dangerous 😅 Best wishes, E&M
Mooi!
Grandioso..
😊 Gracias!
