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 salt flats 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 Meknes offers you the opportunity to sample Moroccan life at first hand. We can arrange a tour of the city by horse drawn caleche or you can gently stroll round the medina sampling exotic produce or haggling over finely crafted silverware or textiles. From Meknes 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 Todra Gorge with its 300 foot red sandstone cliffs soaring upwards from a narrow base.

From here it’s south and into the Sahara. Every type of desert driving will be experienced as we make our way east, 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. 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 off-road tracks as we finally head back to Europe.
