Morocco is an exceptional playground for adventure seekers. At Allmoov Marrakech, we design all-inclusive 4x4 road trips across Morocco, created to reveal the country in a different way — closer to local people, closer to the landscapes, and always guided by a passionate team.
Among our itineraries, this 6-day journey departing from Marrakech takes travelers deep into Southern Morocco, to discover a more hidden and off-the-beaten-path side of the country.
Day 1 – From Marrakech to the landscapes of Southern Morocco
MARRAKECH → COL TICHKA → FOUM ZGUID
The adventure begins in Marrakech, behind the wheel of your 4x4, heading toward the Atlas Mountains. The road unfolds through spectacular scenery before gradually transitioning into the southern landscapes of Morocco.
Along the way, you pass Berber villages, encounter local craftsmanship, and witness the first dramatic shifts in terrain. This opening stage sets the tone for a journey defined by discovery, immersion, and ever-changing horizons.
Day 2 – First sensations of the desert
FOUM ZGUID → LAC IRIKI → DUNES CHEGAGA
The desert slowly reveals itself as you cross wild, untouched landscapes and enter the vast Saharan expanses. This day is dedicated to the 4x4 experience, following desert tracks, crossing dunes, and enjoying suspended moments in the heart of the Sahara.
As night falls, a unique atmosphere sets in under a sky full of stars, in a carefully chosen setting designed for immersion and comfort.
Depending on your preferences, our itineraries can also include a variety of experiences: off-road exploration, stops in preserved natural sites, encounters with local communities, or more active, adventure-focused moments.
Day 3 – Following the Dakar Rally tracks
DUNES CHEGAGA → TISSINT
Today’s route takes you onto legendary off-road tracks once used by the Dakar Rally, where driving becomes pure adventure. The terrain alternates between rocky plateaus, sandy stretches, and remote desert paths that test both driver and machine.
It’s a day focused on intensity and immersion, offering a deeper connection with the raw beauty of southern Morocco. Every turn reveals new, vast horizons and reinforces the feeling of being far from everything, in the heart of true expedition territory.
Day 4 – The Anti-Atlas and surreal landscapes
TISSINT → ROCHES BLEUES → TAFRAOUTE
The journey continues through the Eastern Anti-Atlas, along roads offering spectacular panoramas of rugged reliefs, valleys, and mineral-rich landscapes.
After a stop at a local guesthouse, the route leads to Tafraoute, nestled in the heart of a striking pink granite rock basin. This vibrant stage includes the discovery of the famous Blue Rocks, a surprising and iconic art installation set in the middle of these wild, natural surroundings.
Day 5 – From the desert to the Atlantic coast
TAFRAOUTE → MIRELEFT
The journey continues toward the Atlantic coast, passing through a rich variety of experiences: local craftsmanship, traditional villages, and wide-open panoramas facing the ocean.
This diversity of landscapes perfectly reflects the richness of Morocco itself — one country, yet entirely different atmospheres unfolding within just a few days of travel.
Day 6 – Return to Marrakech via the southern routes
MIRLEFT → TIZNIT → MARRAKECH
Final stage of this 4x4 road trip in Morocco, following the Atlantic coastline before gradually heading back toward Marrakech. The route crosses the spectacular Kerdous Pass, offering breathtaking panoramas over the southern landscapes and surrounding mountain ranges.
After a lunch break in an authentic setting, the journey continues with a visit to Tiznit, renowned for its ancient ramparts and traditional silver craftsmanship. A perfect way to conclude this adventure, blending nature, culture, and Morocco’s vast open spaces.
