Morocco

The journey begins in Faro, heading through Andalusia to Tarifa. Crossing the Strait takes us to Tangier and, within just a few kilometres, the continent, atmosphere, and rhythm of the journey completely change.

We ride down the coast towards Rabat and Casablanca. This is the country’s more urban side, with wide boulevards, contemporary architecture, and cities facing the Atlantic, before we begin to enter a completely different Morocco.

We leave Casablanca behind and head inland. The Ouzoud Falls bring an unexpected splash of green before we arrive in Marrakech, where the pace of the journey changes completely once again.

We leave the plains of Marrakech behind and begin our climb into the Atlas Mountains. The road, the curves, and the mountain scenery define the day as we descend into an increasingly arid landscape before reaching Ait Ben Haddou.

We continue through one of the most scenic regions of the journey. The Valley of Roses, the winding roads of the Dades, traditional villages, and striking rock formations unfold throughout a day when the road itself becomes a central part of the experience. Along this section, the route highlights the famous Dades curves and the “Monkey Fingers” rock formations.

A day with no need to cover any set distance. There’s time to explore the region, enjoy activities in the dunes, or simply relax and make the most of a well-earned break after several consecutive days on the road.

We continue towards Fez. After several days dominated by vast landscapes and open spaces, we arrive in one of Morocco’s oldest and most captivating cities, with time to explore its historic medina.

We head north and experience one final dramatic change of scenery in Chefchaouen. The blue façades and the Rif Mountains create a striking contrast with almost everything we have seen over the previous days.
