Alternative Marrakech: see the city by bicycle

For anyone who is planning a trip to Marrakech, a bike tour is an essential inclusion on your itinerary.

Dear traveller,   While international travel continues to be hampered by border restrictions and quarantine periods, the industry is still undergoing a seismic reset. And that's not necessarily just a bad thing. It's given us all plenty of time to consider how we can travel more sustainably, consciously and ethically in the future. That might mean supporting small businesses, empowering local communities or finding greener ways to go. This week, Christopher Clark writes about exploring Marrakech by bike. Besides revealing a whole different side to the city, booking onto a two-wheeled tour meant providing young Moroccans – and especially girls – with an opportunity to change their stars.  Have fun, Helen Senior Editor, Rough Guides Soukaina, our 23-year-old local guide from Pikala Bikes, led the way, her long black hair flowing in the light breeze. "Yalla! Let's go!" she shouted effusively at regular intervals, urging us on. My initial nervousness gradually dissipating, I started to pedal faster and somehow we were soon blending seamlessly into the medina's kaleidoscopic fabric and frenetic motion.
