More than any other North African country, Morocco offers a rich diversity of landscapes and culture. The north of the country is Mediterranean in feel with rolling green hills and vast fertile plains. The mighty Atlas mountains provide a natural barrier from the arid south. However, even in the desert, the scenery varies, with rocky plains, salt flats and, of course, the vast sand dunes of the Sahara.

Our tour offers the opportunity for fantastic off-road driving with miles and miles of tracks; rocky tracks through the Atlas mountains, passing through remote Berber villages. In the Sahara there are endless horizons with tracks crossing empty plains and rocky pistes over the corrugated hamada, You will be able to practice your sand driving skills and recovery techniques in the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi.

We meet in southern Spain, catching the ferry from Algeciras. As the ferry passes Gibraltar, North Africa becomes visible on a clear day and the feeling of adventure really begins.

Our first stop at Fes offers you the opportunity to sample Moroccan life at first hand. We take you on a guided tour of the old medina where gently stroll, sampling exotic produce or haggling over finely crafted silverware or textiles. The famous tanneries and the ceramics workshops are a highlight of the visit.

From Fes we make our way southwest towards the Atlas Mountains and the opportunity to drive some of the best mountain tracks you are likely to experience. We then head south towards Dades Gorge with its 300 foot red sandstone cliffs soaring upwards from a narrow base.

From here it's south across the mountains to Zagora. Here we'll be resocking with food, water and fuel and preparing our vehicles for our desert adventure. Every type of desert driving will be experienced as we make our way, from soft sand and impressive dunes to stony black hamada and flat expanses of emptiness. Along the way we will encounter tiny desert villages and experience the genuine southern Moroccan hospitality. Wild camping along the way under the desert skies will allow you to absorb the silence and magic of the Sahara.

Our route through the desert ends at the mighty dunes of Erg Chebbi and a well-earned two night stay at a desert auberge. Half-board accommodation is included with the opportunity for more delicious Moroccan cuisine. After time to relax in the dunes, our route north will take in more of the Atlas Mountains and we will spend time enjoying some more of the countryside as we finally head back to Europe.
