Pikala Bike Tours

Eco-friendly bike tours through the medina and Palmeraie supporting local youth.

About this experience

Pikala is a fantastic social enterprise that runs bicycle tours through the medina and Palmeraie (palm oasis outside Marrakech). The organization supports local youth by training them as bike mechanics while promoting bicycle transport as sustainable mobility. Tours are family-friendly and suitable for all ages. Options include historic medina tours, Palmeraie escapes, and custom routes. Knowledgeable local guides (often young Moroccans from the community) take you through narrow medina streets, past hidden palaces, and into areas inaccessible by car. It's an eco-friendly, active, and ethical way to see the city while supporting community development [citation:5].
