This thrilling 4×4 overland adventure begins as we board the ferry from Spain to Morocco, crossing the iconic Straits of Gibraltar. After completing border formalities, we head out to our first campsite for the night, marking the beginning of our epic Moroccan journey.

The next day, we make our way down the motorway toward Fes, and then continue on toward Guercif. From here, we travel south, crossing the vast Plateau Rekkam, where we will set up our first wild camp—an introduction to the challenging roads and varied terrain we will encounter throughout the trip as we head toward Boudnib.

After refuelling in Boudnib, we set off across the empty quarter, skirting the Algerian border. Here, we will encounter a strong military presence, and the remote, harsh landscape sets the tone for our adventure. We then push on toward the famous Erg Chebbi sand dunes, where we will spend a couple of nights. Depending on our arrival time, we’ll either take our vehicles into the dunes for some off-roading or opt for a camel ride to the top of the dunes to watch the sun set over the vast desert. A full day will be spent exploring the dunes, and we’ll make sure any necessary repairs are made at a local garage.

Leaving the dunes behind, we continue our journey south to Zagora, passing the Jebel Mrakib—a mountain ridge where ancient fossils can be found. If time allows, we’ll stop to explore this fascinating area. From Zagora, we follow the Algerian border briefly before veering inland toward Jebel Bani, also known as “the desert gardens.” Here, we’ll continue on to Lake Iriki and make our way toward Forum Zugid.

Next, we head toward Tata, a historic town with its own royal palace. After refueling and restocking, we move on toward Icht, where we’ll traverse the 80km of paved road that leads us to dirt tracks, which once formed part of the legendary Dakar Rally route. Along the way, we’ll pass an old kasbah that is currently being restored.

After leaving Icht, we make our way toward Assa for another refuelling stop, as the next two days will be spent in remote areas with very few people. The roads often disappear entirely, replaced by challenging terrain and scenic beauty. We’ll follow a dry riverbed, known as a Wadi, for a long stretch, which will be dusty but beautiful. This will be the setting for our second wild camp, where the night sky will be clear, offering a spectacular stargazing experience. In the morning, we continue along the riverbed toward TanTan, making our way through the rugged desert terrain and fully embracing the wild and untamed beauty of Morocco’s interior.

This expedition through Morocco offers an exciting mix of off-road adventures, desert exploration, cultural experiences, and wild camping, making it a truly unforgettable 4×4 journey.
