morocco would be a great place... but in July it's just FAR too hot. much better in the shoulder seasons.

are you after organised or organise yourself? if adventurous, exploring some of the more remote parts of the carpathian mountains in romania or the Transylvanian Alps.

Have you considered South Africa. Not cheap to get here, but MTB is the fastest growing sport in this sport obsessed country, there are a few companies who do organised trips. Come after July 11th so the world cup is over and accommodation will be sensibly priced again. The weather wont be stupidly hot as its winter in the southern hemisphere
