Chart — Departures from Tangier
Where two seas and two continents meet. From the straits of Gibraltar, descend through the Rif, the imperial heartland, and onward to the Sahara's edge.
04 itineraries — surveyed & sequenced
Route 01From the straits to the sands — the great north-south traverse.
Begin where Africa faces Europe and descend the whole kingdom: Chefchaouen's blue, Fes's medieval depths, the Sahara at Erg Chebbi, and the gorge-and-kasbah road into Marrakech.
Route 02The full descent — two desert nights and two days in Marrakech.
The north-to-south epic, given room to breathe: a full day in Chefchaouen, the depths of Fes, two nights in the Sahara with a 4x4 desert day, and the kasbah route to a two-day Marrakech finale.
Route 03Two weeks, two seas — the whole kingdom from strait to ocean.
Our longest northern departure: the Rif and the imperial cities, two Sahara nights, the great gorges, Marrakech, and the Atlantic at Essaouira — concluding along the coast at Casablanca.
Route 04The complete loop — leave from the strait, return to the strait.
A full circle of Morocco beginning and ending at the gateway of Africa: Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara, the gorges, Marrakech, and the Atlantic capitals on the road home north.
