The Journey

Family & Friends OFF the Road in Morocco

We send you with your family and/or friends to the Moroccan desert and promise breathtaking nature far from the tourist "highways"! The Moroccan landscape knows how to captivate travelers. When the muezzin calls to prayer in the morning and the sun of Africa rises in Morocco, it becomes clear how far Europe is behind you. An exciting adventure trip for those growing up and "remaining young" adventurers with a desire to discover countries, people, and... well, adventure! The varied off-road journey takes us by four-wheel drive as our mode of transport on partly remote tracks and roads through the mountain landscapes at the edge of the Rif over the Middle Atlas to the dunes of Erg Chebbi! The Morocco 4x4 off-road adventure trip with an expedition character is not a "well-trodden" off-road trip, but more an interactive journey for adventurers who enjoy exploring, camping, and experiencing the North African Sahara. On the 4x4 tour with family and/or friends, a good measure of individuality is essential, so as not to impose a fixed "timetable" on vacation, but to enjoy the luxury of TIME! We adapt the routes according to the travel dynamics of the participants and any unsuitable weather forecasts, or change them, because we are "timelessly" off-road in Morocco. Get in and experience the adventure of Morocco!

Family adventures in nature
This 4x4 off-road trip offers unique experiences for young and old. From mountain lakes to secret palm groves, families have plenty of time to explore the surroundings. Children can build dams, look for scorpions, and splash in river springs while the parents enjoy the breathtaking landscape. In the evenings, we sleep in Berber tents under the starry sky, accompanied by the sounds of nature - an unforgettable adventure that is equally educational and entertaining.

Arrival in Africa

Arrival in Africa

The start to Africa is right at your doorstep, optionally:
Option 1 via the ferry port of Genoa with two days of ferry travel to the ferry port in Tangier/Morocco,
Option 2 ferry port Barcelona with one day of ferry travel to the ferry port in Tangier/Morocco, or
Option 3 ferry port in Algeciras with about two hours of ferry travel through the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier Med in northeastern Morocco. Upon arrival, it is already pitch dark, the "customs procedures" usually take one to two hours until we reach our hotel not far from the Tangier Med port via the "deserted" road!

Please pay attention to the start date of the tour. The tour always begins in Tangier Med!

First Day Adventure

The next morning, the sun of Africa rises, the off-road convoy sets off towards the Sahara, along the northern mountain region the route runs on-road over a "mix" of crumbling minor roads/tracks and well-developed highways towards Marrakech. In the morning, the warming sun wakes us, out of the sleeping bag, into the adventure.... or first a cup of hot coffee with a view of the endless horizon?! After breakfast, we enjoy the last sip of coffee and make our way through the picturesque districts of Rabat-Salé-Kenitra and Rabat-Fes until we eventually reach the eighth district of Drâa-Tafilalet in southern Morocco, where we take some time for a tea ceremony with a Berber family, provided we are invited again. We take our time to explore active mines, bathe in river springs, discover movie sets, and many of the other endless possibilities on our 4x4 off-road journey through Morocco.

Deeper into the interior

There are places where you wake up and really aren’t quite sure if it’s a beautiful dream or reality. On our 4x4 off-road tour through Morocco, we will stop at a stunningly beautiful canyon and get to know the surrounding area. This also includes a bat cave, crossing a wide riverbed, and "immersing" ourselves in a vast sea of palms. The children will have plenty of time to explore the surroundings, build dams, or look for scorpions without bothering their parents. We will visit quaint souks and check out rustic production sites of fossilized rock. We will learn about where and under what conditions fossils are mined in Morocco on a small tour through the stony desert. We will travel from mine to mine and also go underground. After about a week, we will reach the vast sea of dunes Erg Chebbi. At the foot of this enormous natural spectacle, we will spend the night in Berber tents and let ourselves be lulled to sleep by drumming.

Camel trekking and more

On our 4x4 Morocco trip, we have enough time to not have to pack up our tents once or twice. The big ones can dig in the sand while the little ones watch the spectacle from the dunes. On the two-legged camels (husbands/fathers), we slowly trot along the ridge of the dunes in the evening light and enjoy the quiet. We experience the sunset with a traditional meal and fall asleep in the middle of the sea of dunes. Packed with adventurous experiences, we continue towards the Atlas Mountains. Civilization has us back and welcomes us with the famous Todra and Dades Gorge. We drive through massive rocks in our 4x4 vehicles and have enough time to take little stops now and then to capture these beautiful memories with our cameras.

Return to the North

Return to the North

Our drive back to the north can be planned individually and many options are available to us. Our 4x4 off-road trip through Morocco takes us through the Atlas Mountains with its incredible landscapes and some beautiful mountain lakes. Depending on the weather and the condition of the tracks, we will either drive the cross trail in one of the neighboring gorges or choose a mountain pass that leads us to idyllic mountain lakes. Our off-road tour takes us into the cedar forests, and it's exciting to observe how northern Morocco becomes noticeably greener. Surrounded by the lush greenery of the forests, we set up our camp by the monkey lake. Here, our kids have plenty of space to roam and let off steam. With a bit of luck, we might see monkeys doing the same. Depending on your priorities regarding the major cities of Morocco, we can either dive into the hustle and bustle or stay far away from it. If you choose against Meknès or Fès, it's back to the cedar forests. There we can go swimming in springs or visit a waterfall with freshly squeezed orange juice in hand.

Farewell to Morocco

Farewell to Morocco

Our tour is coming to an end. The "caravan" moves further north in the country, through a large national park full of cork oaks, the off-road convoy clumsily makes its way through a fantastic landscape that is completely opposite to the south of the country. Just like the desert and the Atlas Mountains, the sea also belongs to Morocco. Before our ferry departs from Nador in the evening, we do not want to miss the opportunity to make a detour to the coast once more. Lost in thought, we drive along the picturesque coastal road and slowly say goodbye to Morocco. On Wednesday, the ferry leaves from the Moroccan mainland to Algeciras/Sete/Barcelona and the ferry port of Genoa. You will arrive at the ferry ports of Sete and Barcelona on Thursday. The ferry arrives in Genoa on Friday around noon, giving you enough time until Monday morning to get to work. If you join the tour, it is most relaxed to book the ferry directly with OVERCROSS along with your trip.

Die geführte 4x4 Geländewagen Reise in Marokko bietet eine klare Struktur. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die tägliche Routenplanung, die flexible Etappen im Atlasgebirge und die Wüstendurchquerung in der Sahara ermöglicht. Während der Fahrt waren die detaillierten Briefings und die GPS-gestützte Navigation hilfreich. Die Vorbereitung des Supports durch den deutschsprachigen Guide war durchweg professionell.

Translated from German · Show original

Die 4x4 Geländewagen Reise in Marokko zeigt, dass der Schwierigkeitsgrad für fortgeschrittene Fahrer durchaus herausfordernd ist. Die Sanddünen von Erg Chebbi verlangten Geschicklichkeit und Konzentration, insbesondere bei der ersten Wüstenpassage. Die wechselnden Bedingungen und die Flexibilität der Routen ermöglichten es, individuelle Vorlieben in der Erkundung der beeindruckenden Landschaften des Atlasgebirges zu berücksichtigen. Nach der Tour war mir bewusst, dass die Belastung und Herausforderung zur Intensität des Abenteuers beitrugen.
