In 2009, a vision for adventure took root when co-founder Timothy approached Saif with an idea to start a bike shop in Marrakech. This spark ignited a journey that would transform both their lives and the landscape of Moroccan tourism.
Driven by passion and determination, Saif made a bold move in October 2010. He closed his mortgage banking office, shed his corporate attire, and sold nearly all his possessions. Returning to his ancestral roots in Marrakech, Saif set out to turn Argan Sports into a reality.
The following year brought pivotal developments. In 2010, Saif and Timothy embarked on a quest to Taiwan, seeking the perfect bicycle partner. Among all the world’s options, they chose Giant, securing an agreement to supply their exceptional bikes. This partnership led to the creation of an impressive 165-bike touring fleet and the establishment of the Argan Sports bicycle shop. Their commitment to quality was rewarded with exclusive distribution rights for Giant in Morocco.
Saif’s dedication to excellence led him to the United Bicycle Institute in Portland. There, a serendipitous reunion with his high school friend John Hlavacs, a former lead Nike shoe designer, resulted in the creation of our iconic logo. This collaboration set the tone for Argan Sports’ commitment to working with extraordinary partners.
On July 25, 2011, we proudly opened the doors of our official shop in Marrakech. From that day, we began building not just a team, but a family united by a love for cycling and adventure.
At Argan Sports Marrakech, our vision is clear: to be the premier touring company in Morocco. We achieve this by offering top-quality products coupled with exceptional customer service.
