Destinations
One route at a time, travelled properly before it gets written up. The caravan is in Morocco — more routes join as we go.
Morocco
Morocco is where the caravan begins — the routes we know best. From the noise of Jemaa el-Fnaa to the silence of Erg Chebbi, the classic south loop crosses two Atlas passes, follows a thousand-year-old river of palm groves, and ends on the edge of the Sahara.
We travel it by local bus and shared taxi, sleep in family-run riads and desert camps, and keep every dirham accounted for.
