Morocco

From cool coasts to hot deserts

Morocco, a country full of colours, scents and contrasts

Sander had heard different opinions about Morocco: one praised the beautiful culture and nature, the other warned about the crowds and unknown situations. That is why he decided in the summer of 2024 to experience it for himself and to drive through the country with his self-built campervan.

In three weeks we have made a very varied journey. Sander started along the cool, rugged Atlantic coast, where the sea cooled and fishing boats colored the landscape. Then he drove inland. Marrakesh to be precise, to pick up Tessa. She flew in because she wanted to travel through the rest Morocco.

Where the landscape slowly turned into vast desert plains and mountains. We reached the warm, impressive Sahara, with its endless sand dunes and starry sky that you don’t see anywhere else.

Information about Morocco

Each place had its own charm and atmosphere, from the lively markets to the quiet oases. The freedom that our camper(van) gave made it possible to really go out, at your own pace and off the beaten track. It was a journey full of surprises, new impressions and unforgettable moments.

FAQ about Morocoo

What is the best travel time for Morocco?
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are ideal: the weather is pleasant, even inland. In summer it can get extremely hot, especially in the south and desert areas. The coastal regions can still be done well thanks to the sea breeze.
Most European travellers do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days. However, your passport must be valid for at least six months upon entry.
Yes, we experienced Morocco as safe during our independent tour with the campervan. People were generally friendly and helpful, and we have not experienced any unpleasant situations. It is important for women to adapt to the local culture. Modest clothing and sometimes a headscarf provide more respect and a more pleasant feeling, especially in more conservative areas. You can travel around here with respect and open attitude.
The main roads are generally good, especially between large cities. In rural areas or mountain regions, roads can be narrow or poorly maintained. Traffic is much more chaotic than in Europe, especially in cities. So stay alert! Don’t be put off, just stay calm and take your time.
There are several ferry services from southern Spain to Morocco. Popular departure ports are Algeciras, Tarifa and Motril, with arrivals in Tangier Med or Nador. The crossing usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours (Tarifa – Tangier Ville is the fastest) and you can easily take your car or camper with you. Make sure your documents are in order: passport, vehicle papers and green card (insurance).
