This guided 4x4 off-road trip combines the High Atlas, the Anti-Atlas, the Drâa Valley and the southern edge of the Sahara in one tour. You stand in front of the film sets of Aït-Ben-Haddou and Ouarzazate, reach Erg Chebbi and Erg Chegaga, two of the best-known dune fields in North Africa, and drive from Fès to the edge of the sea of sand over mountain tracks, canyons and high plateaus. The landscape changes daily between stone desert, palm oases and old caravan routes.
You drive on gravel, sand and rocky tracks, plus a few small dune passages. The stages cover around 150 to 300 kilometres and 4 to 7 hours of driving per day, over corrugated tracks, old caravan paths and real off-road sections. Your guide supports you with your driving technique through sand briefings, line selection and tyre pressure management. Ideal vehicles are the Land Cruiser, Wrangler, Defender or Hilux; a rental 4x4 can optionally be booked.
You spend every night outdoors, at campsites or wild camping in the desert, one of them in the Sahara camp under a clear starry sky. You cook together as a team, and the evenings belong to fire, music and stories. On top of that come daily driver briefings, radio contact throughout the convoy, an emergency plan, local mechanics and GPS navigation. The group stays small, and the tour is aimed at advanced overlanders and off-roaders with a spirit of adventure.
