Description of the tour
We start in the ‘new town’ Gueliz; built by the French with wide boulevards and modern architecture. We bike to the olive tree garden of the Menara; once the summer pavilion of Moroccan sultans with a strategic water basin.
From there the Avenue Menara will bring us along the Mamounia straight to the gardens behind the huge minaret of the Koutoubia mosk. From the Koutoubia we enter the old town with its small streets and alleys. We pass by the palace of Dar el Bacha end enter into the souks to the holy Zaouia of Sidi Bel Abbes. We bike through the gate of Bab Kechich to cross the bridge over the river Oued Issil to enter the original palm oasis “Le Palmeraie”. Here you find luxury hotels and holiday resorts; unfortunately almost all hidden by a wall. Between the palms you can also find some camels; nice to take pictures.
The tour ends at the colorful botanical garden Jardin Majorelle; designed more than 100 years ago by the French painter Jacques Majorelle. For a long time it was privately owned by (the late) fashion designer Yves St. Laurent.
