Marrakech Green Wheels

Marrakech Green Wheels is a community project that has been founded in 2016 thanks to an original idea of a young Moroccan who is passionate about cycling and the protection of the environment.

He has introduced the bicycle to locals as well as to tourists and encouraged cycling with the purpose to provide an affordable and sustainable means of transportation, promote ecotourism in Morocco and combat unemployment by providing sustainable employment and training for Moroccan youth.

Mitigating the effects of climate change and improving urban livability is prompting cities to improve sustainability of urban transportation and logistics. MGW features responsible tourism by introducing bicycles to both locals and tourists. Their belief is that bikes can contribute to the community at many levels beyond transportation. It is the ultimate alternative to circulate, live the culture and discover the city while keeping it clean.

Their vision is to raise public awareness about climate change and to communicate the economic chances of green and sustainable tourism in Morocco and beyond. Meanwhile, they create income-generating opportunities to empower young people, women and minorities and equip them with skills that will help them in the future careers and help serve the community.
