A moment of exchange and good humor where Mohamed shares his know-how and his life as a traditional craftsman with incomparable kindness. The kids are fans! They usually leave with a small creation made on site. Small souvenir shop on site with the traditional objects that Mohammed makes. Free price, about 1 hour.
- Kasbah Amridil - A visit to Kasbah Amridil is not mandatory, it’s up to you! It is the jewel of Skoura, testimony to the cultural and architectural heritage of the region. Formerly Skoura was a rich and prosperous territory thanks to trade and agriculture, the village is dotted with many majestic kasbahs, most of them abandoned. The Kasbah Amridil has always been maintained by the family of the owners and offers you an immersion in the history and culture of Skoura. This visit of approximately 1 hour is in addition at an attractive price.
- Skoura - We are off for about 3.5 hours of excursion with a tea break in the middle in a picturesque setting. You will have the opportunity to visit part of the huge Palmeraie de Skoura, which I know like the back of my hand. Come and enjoy the small picturesque trails that only the locals know about on a comfortable mountain bike. An atmosphere like nowhere else!
We will take the bikes and go for a ride according to your desire, I will take the time to share my knowledge, my culture and answer your questions in a relaxed atmosphere.
Come and discover the natural wealth of my village and its unique ecosystem!

Amazing performance! - We called the same day, without reservation we were very well received. Hassan guided us to the nooks and crannies of the palm grove and was really keen to share his love for this unique place. We were sick, they deliberately picked us grenades and his wife prepared us a special tea: we got out of there healed!
In our opinion, the best way to visit the palm grove (accessible to all by bike, which are of very good quality). Thank you for everything!

Unforgettable experience in the palm grove of Skoura! - The bike ride with Adnane was absolutely amazing! He was kind, professional and exercised safety from the beginning. We were picked up at hour hotel and dropped off as well, the bicycles were well maintained and the bike tour was unforgettable. Adnane gave us a well put together tour of Skoura and brought waters and snacks for us. If you are in Skoura (or nearby) give this man a call for for an unforgettable experience.

What a great experience! - Very nice experience, with an automatic electric mountain bike and a Guide who accompanied me for the ride in the palm grove and Kasbah Amridil explaining me a lot of interesting things. Thanks to the Owner of the activity and his brother I had a super half day. Activity recommended!

Great bike ride through the Skoura palm oasis - We did not make a reservation ahead, but found Adnan by following the signs for Skoura VTT from the Kasbah Amridil. We called the number on the door and he was with us in less than a minute.
The Cannondale bikes are very good quality and well maintained. He has some e-bikes too and he has helmets and some basic tools available.
Adnan was super helpful, speaks great English. He offers guided tours too, but we went out on our own.
The oasis is a maze of small roads and tiny tracks, super fun to ride. There are not many places for a coffee break, but we recommend a stop at Ecolodge Sawadi, beautiful place and very friendly people.
The trip ended with tea and dates in the garden of Adnans family.

Great place to stay. - These beautiful luxury townhouse serviced apartments are an ideal base for a stay on the west coast. As regular visitor to the island this was the first time visiting as a couple. Theses apartments are ideal but can also accommodate a family of four. The apartments are as in photos over three floors. Ground floor has two bedrooms with built in wardrobes and large family bathroom with walk in shower. Second floor, large spacious open plan living space. Well equipped kitchen if you want to cook and eat in. Comfortable living area with tv.
There is also a cloakroom on this floor so you don’t have to go downstairs to the toilet.
The third floor is through a locked door that leads to outside staircase to roof terrace. The sunny terrace is home to table and chairs, couple of sun loungers and a lovely plunge pool. We didn’t use this area but it was very pretty and a lovely place to have morning coffee/breakfast, lunch or afternoon sundowners.
The apartments have a car park if you wish to hire a car although you don’t need one. You are only steps away from bus stops that will take you into Speightown to the north or Holetown to the south.
Beaches are 5mins walk. If you are looking for sun beds Rico on the beach will do you a deal for a weekly rate. His beds are next to JuJu’s Beach Bar- a great spot for lunch. Close by are Lonestar, Juma’s and the Fairmount hotel.
If you need a larger property, Garden grove have 3 bedroom townhouses close by . Would also recommend Mullins Grove 5 mins walk from the famous Mullins Beach. I recommended these apartment to 2 young couples when they attended a wedding in St Peter. I have been in these apartment and can confirm they are the same high standard.
Thank you for a wonderful stay Nicole and the rest of the team. Will definitely be coming back.

Amazing experience - We went for a mountain bike ride as a family. Adnane was an exceptional guide, he was able to adapt to children while providing adults with interesting descriptions of the palm grove and the buildings. The bikes were in good condition, there were helmets for the children... There is nothing to complain about, many thanks again!
