The Argan Sports Self-Guided Experiences

Argan Sports (AXS) self guided bike tours in Morocco offers the ultimate “pure freedom” adventure for independent explorers. Unlike traditional group tours, our Morocco self-guided tours allow you to be the pilot of your own journey, managing your own rhythm and pace. We provide a complete digital safety net, including professionally fitted Giant Revolt gravel bikes, expertly mapped GPS routes, and pre-booked “sanctuaries”—from luxury retreats to authentic mountain lodges—where breakfast and dinner are always included.

Designed for the self-reliant adventure cyclist, our system bridges the gap between total isolation and a supported tour. You benefit from over a decade of local expertise since 2010, receiving 24/7 WhatsApp Concierge support and private airport transfers. This is the perfect intersection of physical achievement and cultural immersion, offering a “bikepacking” ethos with the security of a professional network.
