Marrakech Autrement, on an electric bike
“Marrakech Autrement” means Marrakech, differently — the hidden city most visitors on foot or in a coach never experience. This guided e-bike tour connects the Koutoubia Mosque, the colonial Hivernage district, the royal Agdal gardens, the Royal Palace, the fortified Kasbah, the historic Mellah and the Bahia Palace in a single route, finishing at Jemaa el-Fna. Pedal assistance means the distance is effortless, so the ride stays about the city, not the exercise.

What happens on the ride
Bike fitting & safety briefing
The group meets at the parking beside the Koutoubia Mosque. Guides fit each e-bike to the rider, run a short test ride, and cover hand signals and road-crossing procedure before departure.
Koutoubia Gardens, La Mamounia, Royal Mansour
The ride begins beside Marrakech’s tallest minaret before heading toward two of the world’s most legendary hotels, with the guide explaining why this ground was chosen for them.
Bab Jdid, Hivernage
Following the ancient ramparts, the route enters Hivernage — wide boulevards and art-deco façades from the French Protectorate era.
Modern Marrakech
Jnane El Harti, Royal Theatre, Agdal District
Past the Royal Theatre and into the Agdal district, with the Atlas Mountains often visible on the horizon on clear days.
Heritage Quarters
The route reaches the Royal Palace Square and the fortified Kasbah, Marrakech’s historic seat of power.
Mellah, Bahia Palace, Zellige Craftsmen
Through the historic Jewish quarter to the Bahia Palace, passing zellige workshops near Sidi Daoud where tiles are still hand-cut.
Tea break & return to the square
A traditional mint tea break precedes the final ride back to Jemaa el-Fna, where the tour concludes.
