I signed up for a four-day tour to help me get to the Atlas Mountains, then to the Sahara Desert before finally arriving in Fez. Along the way, we also hit up a few old towns, a ski resort, and a canyon, which is also a rock-climbing paradise. On this tour, my ensemble is a group of backpackers, all coming from different places. We are transported via buses with local guides to help us out at all the stops.
If you are into hardcore biking, I could also recommend the Marrakech to Atlas Mountains round trip route. Be warned, the elevation gain is very extreme for beginners. This trip will also involve some camping/bivouacking outside, as lodging can be sparse in some areas. I would only recommend this to anyone who is a veteran cyclist with previous experience in continuous hill climbs.

For climbers, there are several companies and individual guides who run up both to the Toubkal (the highest peak) and the beautiful red gorges. You can see the picture of the gorges below. I would highly recommend going with a company for your personal safety, especially if you are climbing in Morocco for the first time. Additionally, the red rock can feel quite different from what you have back home. Thus, it is worth investing some time to get used to the rocks.
All the twists and turns of the road. 
Can you see the climber? 
As for the Sahara Desert, the scene was absolutely stunning. Especially at night, you can see so many stars and shooting stars. Our plan was to bivouac in the Sahara. However, due to complaints of tourist scamming, the Moroccan government hasn’t stopped the permit to camp out in the desert a few days before our arrival. We were able to find lodging on the edge of the Sahara, which is still far enough to enable us to see the night sky. You might want to consider that option as well when you visit.
