Read what our customers have to say about their experience

Hi! I’m Andy Mckettrick, the bestselling author of ‘Go West’ – A handy guide to visiting Northern Spain in a Motorhome and ‘Flip Flops & Falafel’ – A handy guide to visiting Morocco in a Motorhome.

I was born within sight of The Shankly Gates, Liverpool and after a decade as a Joiner, nine miserable years as a Driving Instructor and ‘way too long’ running a B&B in North Wales, I relocated to Cantabria in Northern Spain. Having discovered my lovely Gordi in a Spanish wheelie bin over 9 years ago, we’ve been travelling together, virtually full-time throughout Europe and North Africa.

Our original trip was meant to last around 5 weeks but we didn’t return home until 18 months later! Once home, I knew I couldn’t go back to my old life. I wanted to travel. I wanted to make this our life. Three months later, Gordi & I were back on the road again and we haven’t stopped writing and travelling since.

I now offer fully escorted Motorhome Tours that are well organised, exciting and reliable with clear information and you even have your own dedicated European checklist for a seamless experience.

I’m really excited to talk through any part of the tour you’re interested in prior to your booking via phone or video call. This also gives you a good opportunity to meet Gordi and me!

Reviews of escorted morocco tours tours.

An amazing trip with the wonderful guide Mustafa, whose knowledge, caring, energy and friendliness made seeing the Sahara even better for this international group of friends.

We had an absolutely extraordinary travel experience. The high level of professionalism, education, sensitivity and discretion made this short trip as a couple to discover a country rich in culture, colours, flavors and scents, a real gift. All the staff contributed to making our experience special, starting from our extraordinary personal guide-driver, continuing with the knowledgeable guides who showed us the charm and secrets of the imperial cities visited, not least the welcoming Riads that collaborate with your accommodation facility made us feel in a comfortable, familiar and serene environment, in short we felt less like tourists even if only for a week and this for us was a great value. I like to underline a detail that gives a good idea of ​​the attention that this operator pays to its travellers, namely that, during the excursion in the Merzouga desert, which also included a camel ride and a night in the Berber camp, our splendid driver-guide, having learned that my wife was celebrating her birthday that very day, managed to surprise her by celebrating her by candlelight in the desert with a birthday cake accompanied by Berber musicians singing happy birthday. I'm still wondering how he managed to find a birthday cake in the desert.Therefore, I can only highly recommend this operator.

Morocco by motorhome: a different and unique experience

There are many ways of getting to know a country, but of all of them, the motorhome is probably the one that leaves the greatest impression on the traveler. The sensation of freedom that this formula offers makes it a unique and different experience that you have to try at least once in your life. Traveling to Morocco by motorhome is an excellent way to discover the country’s surprising contrasts and get to know the local culture.

From the Atlantic to the dunes of the Sahara, from the hustle and bustle of the medinas and souks to the solitude of the desert, from the mountains to the coast, and from blue Chaouen to red Marrakech… Morocco is a country to be traveled from end to end. And for this, there is nothing better than the motorhome, which offers you the flexibility you need to do it without rushing, enjoying every moment and all its landscapes.

Before the trip

When preparing for a trip in a motorhome, the most important thing is to have the necessary documentation ready to enter Morocco. You will need a passport valid for at least three months, a Spanish driving license, vehicle documentation, travel and motorhome insurance, a temporary vehicle import report (D16Ter), and a green card.

Another necessary aspect is to plan the route you are going to take and where you are going to sleep. To do this, there is nothing better than studying a map with the distances between destinations and the main camping sites, so that you can adjust the stages according to the time you have available.

Campsites and roads

Although it’s easy to go camping in Morocco, an excellent option is to sleep at one of the many campsites dotted around the country. Some of them, such as Diamant Vert in Fez or Camping Le Relais in Marrakech , not only offer security, but also the possibility of emptying and filling your tanks.

As for the roads , you should drive within the speed limits, not only comply with current legislation but also as a precaution against the possibility of passers-by, donkeys, dogs, or camels appearing at any moment, which is quite common. For this reason, driving at night is not recommended, nor is driving away from paved roads.

On the other hand, traveling during daylight hours has the advantage of being able to enjoy the beautiful Moroccan scenery. In addition, once at the destination, you can also take part in complementary activities, such as an excursion on a quad bike.

Tips for the route

One of the most frequent doubts for those who are organizing a motorhome trip is whether they should take food supplies with them. This is not necessary. Morocco has rich gastronomy and one of the attractions of the trip is to enjoy it. To do this, you will need cash, as some establishments in certain areas do not accept credit cards. Another possibility is to withdraw money from ATMs in the cities, although the commissions will cost you some money.

As for the best time of year to make a trip in a motorhome, spring is a great option, although you can make the most of your trip in any season. Whatever the date is chosen, having health insurance will also help us to feel more protected in the event of any unforeseen event.

Traveling by motorhome in Morocco offers you the chance to freely enjoy a unique country and get to know its landscapes, its people, its gastronomy, and its customs. A different and fun trip. A breath of freedom that will surely remain forever in your mind, in your memory, and in the hundreds of photographs that you will undoubtedly take.

2024 Tour Itinerary

Passengers who purchase flights will depart 1 day before the tour starts and return on the same day as the tour ends.

Note: Flights may not be available on all departures.

You can find more details on the Before You Depart page.

Day 1: Arrive in Casablanca

Apologies to Bogie, but here begins a beautiful friendship with Casablanca and this amazing country. Travelers who purchased our air-inclusive program will be greeted at the airport by our Tour Director and transferred to our hotel in Casablanca with some time to relax after our flight. Later, our day concludes with an orientation meeting and welcome dinner.

Day 2: Casablanca – Marrakesh

Today we start to discover Morocco's largest city and economic capital, Casablanca, the best representation of the modern side of Morocco. Casablanca’s history—well, it’s complicated. Influences range from French to Spanish to Portuguese to Arab to British. We'll begin our city tour with a visit to the only Jewish Museum in the Arabic-speaking world. Next, we'll visit the ornate Hassan II Mosque (with interior admission included), which has the tallest minaret in the world. We'll continue to Aln Diab Corniche for a pleasant stroll along the coast before stopping at Mohammed V Square. We'll visit the Habous Quarter, one of the oldest areas of Casablanca built by the French in the 1930s in an attempt to solve housing shortages. After our visit, we'll depart for Marrakesh.

Day 3: Marrakesh

After breakfast, we'll enjoy a tour of Marrakesh, also known as the "Red City." This majestic town is filled with palaces, gardens, markets, and mosques. We'll visit the stunning,19th-century Bahia Palace where we'll see the intricate work done by local artisans. From there, we'll explore the artisan quarters and the colorful souks to witness and experience daily life in Marrakesh. Next, we'll continue to Dar El Bacha Museum. It's one of the medina's finest examples of Riad architecture and is dripping with Moroccan Zellige (colorful geometric tilework), intricate white plasterwork, and heavy, carved cedar-wood lintels. We'll wander past palm readers, snake charmers, acrobats, and musicians as we make our way to the medina's main square, the famous Jemaa el-Fna. This evening, we'll return to the medina to enjoy a typical Moroccan dinner with entertainment.

Day 4: Marrakesh

A free day to explore Marrakesh! Consider an optional hammam and massage to relax and unwind or join our optional Berber Experience in the Atlas Mountains where we'll enjoy a traditional Berber lunch with bread and mint tea and visit a cooperative run by women that extracts Argan oil. Late this afternoon, we'll come together for a cooking class that takes place on the terrasse of the villa in a spectacular décor with the Atlas Mountains in the background. We'll enjoy an exceptional gastronomic experience of our award-winning chef's culinary world, drawing from his extensive knowledge of North Africa's rich food culture. From picking out fresh produce in the souks of his hometown of Marrakesh to sampling spices for the perfect flavor to watching artisinal fillo dough made from scratch in front of our eyes. The chef will unlock the secrets of the recipes he's mastered over the years for us. We'll enjoy dinner with our chef and leave with an inside perspective of one of the world's most highly cherished cuisines.

Day 5: Marrakesh – Boumalne Dades

Our journey through majestic Morocco continues across the High Atlas Mountains and the spectacular Tichka Pass to Boumalne Dades. We’ll stop for a brief tour of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This giant fortification, which showcases a unique example of pise clay architecture, has been a filming location for Gladiator and Game of Thrones. We'll have time for an independent lunch before we continue to our final destination today: Boumalne Dades. Prepare to be wowed by this town set on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Tonight, we'll savor an included dinner at your Riad-hotel.

Day 6: Boumalne Dades – Erfoud

Today, we’ll marvel at one of Morocco’s most visited natural sights, the lush Todra Palmeraie Gorge with its dramatic 985-foot-high walls. Our walking tour affords plenty of spectacular photo ops! Our travels continue to Erfoud, described as an oasis and “the Door to the Desert.” Enjoy dinner at the hotel and rest up for tomorrow’s once-in-a-lifetime Sahara itinerary.

Day 7: Sahara Desert Experience

The only word for today’s full-day excursion is unforgettable! We’ll start in Rissani, a caravan center with a large vibrant souk at its heart, where we’ll hop into a 4x4 caravan to venture into the desert, winding through small villages before stopping in serene Tissardmine for a picnic lunch. As we ascend the peak of Erg Chebbi, prepare to be blown away by the desert's vastness. We’ll “trade up” to camels for the real deal: a ride through the Merzouga dunes on camelback! Loaded with memories (and photos) you can’t wait to share, we’ll return to the hotel after sunset for dinner together.

Day 8: Erfoud – Fez

After departing Erfoud, we’ll journey through the scenic Middle Atlas mountain range, while admiring its lush forested slopes brimming with cedar and oak trees. You’ll have a chance to see Ifrane, a picturesque ski area, and in the evening, when we reach Fez, catch the magical city lights as we arrive.

Fez is home to the oldest university in the world, and today we’ll join a local expert to learn more about this 1,200-year-old city, which was Morocco’s capital for 400 years and stands as one of the world’s largest, best-preserved medieval fortified cities. Our full-day exploration includes the Fez el Bali Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where life unfolds as it did centuries ago. We’ll wander the famous souks known for authentic Moroccan carpets and ceramics. After the high energy of the souks, a quiet lunch in a riad (a traditional Moroccan house with an interior courtyard) will be most welcome. We will also see the Nejjarine Fountains and Museum and the 14th-century Attarine Medersas (a place of education) before visiting Fes Jdid, the modern district of the city, in the afternoon. Here, we’ll explore the Jewish Quarter and the Royal Palace.

Day 10: Fez at Leisure

Enjoy a day at leisure in Fez! Explore and wander the city further. Or consider an optional tour to visit a winery with lunch.

Day 11: Fez – Rabat

After breakfast, we'll drive to Rabat, Morocco's coastal capital and fifth-largest city. Upon arrival, we'll spend the afternoon visiting the city's fascinating historic sites. We'll see the 19th-century Royal Palace and the city's "Gate of the Winds" (also known as Bab Rouah). We'll visit Hassan Tower, the minaret of an incomplete mosque that was originally intended to be the world's largest. We'll continue to the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas which was built in the mid-12th century. Here, we'll walk through the French colonial gardens and explore the fortress built to shield royalty from attacks. Our tour concludes at Chellah, a necropolis and the site of the ruins of a Roman town known as Sala Colonia. We'll have some free time to relax before we come together for our farewell dinner this evening.

Day 12: Depart Rabat

Our tour comes to an end after breakfast today. Travelers who purchase our air-inclusive package will transfer to the airport for our return flight and touch down in the U.S. later today.

Traditional Hammam and Massage

The hammam is a must-do activity in Morocco. Historically, the hammam was a public bathhouse for the locals to clean off the dirt and grime invariably accumulated after traveling through the desert. Today, the hammam still serves this purpose for the locals but is brought to a higher level for the tourists. In the hammam, you’ll be submerged by a complete relaxation experience within an authentic oriental décor where you’ll be listening to your own body in an atmosphere filled with water, oils, essences, and perfumes. Enjoy a 30-minute scrub with black soap or soothing spices to eliminate toxins from your body. After Hammam, sway to the massage room where you will experience a 30-minute traditional Moroccan massage to eliminate tensions and gain energy and vitality.

2025 Tour Itinerary

Group flights not available in 2025.

Apologies to Bogie, but here begins a beautiful friendship with Casablanca and this amazing country. Travelers have the option to extend their trip with a pre-night here in Casablanca. Our day concludes with an orientation meeting with our Tour Director, and a welcome dinner.

After breakfast, we'll drive to Rabat, Morocco's coastal capital and fifth-largest city. En route, we'll stop to explore the Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in North Africa. Upon arrival in Rabat, we'll spend the afternoon visiting the city's fascinating historic sites. We'll see the 19th-century Royal Palace and the city's "Gate of the Winds" (also known as Bab Rouah). We'll visit Hassan Tower, the minaret of an incomplete mosque that was originally intended to be the world's largest. We'll continue to the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas which was built in the mid-12th century. Here, we'll walk through the French colonial gardens and explore the fortress built to shield royalty from attacks. Our tour concludes at Chellah, a necropolis and the site of the ruins of a Roman town known as Sala Colonia. We'll have some free time to relax before we come together for our farewell dinner this evening.

Our tour comes to an end after breakfast today. Travelers have the option to extend their trip with a post-night in Rabat.

There may be a few early mornings or long travel days by bus (don’t worry—there are always comfort stops!), and you may expect to stay in most accommodations for 3+ nights. Learn More

No Additional Entry Requirements for U.S. Passport Holders

A valid passport is required for international tours. Currently, there are no additional entry requirements for U.S. passport holders, but this can change at any time. Before travel, both U.S. and non-U.S. passport holders should visit our Passports & Visas page to reconfirm entry requirements.

In Marrakesh, buses and cars are not able to access the medina. The drop-off area is approx. 0.5 miles away and travelers will walk from the drop-off area to the medina.

Travelling to Morocco by Motorhome

In this Travelling to Morocco by Motorhome post, we take an in-depth look at everything to do with bringing your motorhome to and touring around this fascinating north African country. We focus on what you need to do before you come and how to arrive smoothly in Morocco by Motorhome .  There are a lot of reports about where to sail from, and whilst everyone’s experiences are, for sure, valid and personal, we wanted to share our practical tips based on our two journeys in February 2020 and January 2023. Our aim is to quell those raging doubts and fears and give you both the knowledge and confidence to make this epic journey to Morocco by motorhome.

Part 1. What to do before travelling to Morocco by Motorhome

Whilst you may be like us and enjoy winging it – there are some destinations that really need some fore-thought. Morocco is one of them and Norway another. For Morocco, plenty of preparation is required. In part because it’s a different continent and the requirements are different to a majority of Europe. And also because, for many Moroccan newbies, it has a feel of taking us out of our comfort zone. Travelling with huge anxiety is not a great mix and so we must do some homework to make sure that our experiences are positive and fulfilling and not fear-making. 

We hope that this section might allay some apprehension as you begin to dream and think about taking your motorhome to Morocco.

1. Check out your Insurance and Breakdown cover – Green Card

Travelling to Morocco by motorhome has become a little more tricky, from an insurance point of view, as it has been withdrawn from many UK motorhome insurance policies – European firms may be different.  So your first step is to enquire about your particular company’s terms and conditions.  If they do allow for you to travel to Morocco in your motorhome, then you need to ask for a Green Card which gives you Fully Comprehensive cover during your stay in the country. You  will though need to give them specific dates of travel. 

If like our insurers Comfort, they no longer cover Morocco even with a Green Card, then don’t give up.  There are a couple of options. First speak to Sterling Insurers (formerly HIC). After much research and speaking to BIBA the Insurance Broker body, we managed to get a quote for temporary, Comprehensive cover for Morocco. This is, superficially excellent news and a game changer for many, although get ready  for the eye watering price; between £750-970 for between 2-3 months. Now that quote was based on our van’s age and circumstances, so your quote might be more or less or perhaps even they won’t cover you at all. Although it is worth a conversation with them.

The second option is picking up 3rd Party Insurance at the Port in Tangier Med. We paid €200 (payable in cash I hasten to add) for three month’s cover. Whether it will be worth the paper it is written on,  we hope we don’t need to find out. We realise that many would not want to risk a 3rd party cover, although having been to Morocco before, we weighed up the risks and decided it would be worth it. 

We also do not have any Breakdown cover, as given our insurance is covered by Comfort, and they no longer cover Morocco, we must rely on local breakdown. That said even when they did provide cover, Comfort’s European Breakdown with DAS wasn’t covered in Morocco anyway. So we still would have been reliant on a local breakdown recovery service. It is worth mentioning that the Moroccans are super helpful and skilled and a quick call to the local town mechanic will get you recovered and repaired. 

2. Check your Travel/Health Insurance

If you already have Travel Insurance, then check that Morocco is covered, because whether you are travelling in the Brexit transition or not, the EHIC card is not useable here. As we travel full-time, we needed to secure our cover whilst out of our home country, and most UK companies will not therefore instigate cover.  So we sought the best deal from those that will cover you whilst you are already travelling. The quote ranged from £113.20 to £355.80 for two people without and pre-existing conditions. We chose True Traveller as they had the lowest quote for us for our one month road-trip. Make sure you choose the European Cover and not Worldwide, as Morocco is covered under the EU countries. The other insurer options are:

                                              World Nomads       True Traveller     Worldwide Insurance

3. Internet/Apps/Telephones  

Talk to your telephone supplier as their coverage and packages don’t cover Morocco and you will be charged crazy prices for calls and data, as it comes under International Rates. You will need to buy a Moroccan SIM card for calls and data, so you will need them to unlock your phone (you can do this online with most companies). Whilst some campsites have wifi, it’s not always great, like anywhere and whilst you are out travelling, you will want to have connectivity.

Our advice is to make sure you have off-line versions of the apps you use most often. Before you leave Spain for Morocco, make sure you have downloaded all the Moroccan maps for your maps.me app, if you have it.  Also we use Park4Night for wild camping and so bought the off-line version for £8.42 per year, and the Search for  Sites app for campsites for £5.99 per year. 

4. Documentation to take with you

Like with travel to most countries, you will need:

• Passports and copies in case you loose them
• V5 – in Morocco this is known as the Carte de Gris – the grey card
• Your MOT certificate as it is reported that sometimes Police wish to check this
• Hard copies of your Travel/Health Insurance and your Vehicle Insurance
• There is some debate about whether you do need  an IDP. Some websites we read said yes others no. So to be on the safe side we arranged to have ours updated. Piece of mind!
• Your Green Card (if your Insurers provide one.)

5. Plans for maximising your LPG

Morocco doesn’t have any LPG, so you will need to judge the use of gas carefully, especially if you are coming for over a month or more.  So think about options for conserving your gas. Obviously campsites will give you access to EHU. Although they are not always powerful enough to give you enough wattage for your fridge to stay on. Although from a cooking perspective and for the limited options for wild camping, then may be you will need to look at other gas saving approaches. You can buy Moroccan gas bottles and simply  buy a Tandor , which is their regulator and add this to your outside gas point. We have one at the ready if it becomes necessary. 

Additionally, we invested in a few electrical items. The first was a Remoska which is a fabulous electric oven that cooks pretty much anything, in about an hour, just like a normal oven.  It even works off the inverter whilst you are driving and is a great gas saving resource. 

We also have a two-plate electric stove (and a back up in case it fails). You can buy them from Argos in the UK and El Cortes Inglés in Spain. We also purchased a low-wattage slow cooker, so we have a lot of options available to us to converse our precious gas.

That is a big undertaking. I think you guys have gotten the hang of this now, and seem to have smooth sailing most of the time.

We have been to Morocco 4 times, it’s lovely country with very friendly people. Our van insurers are saga and they charge £25 for the green card for the 3 months we were there. If you are taking a dog you must have a blood test done at home to prove they have rabies antibodies and you must have the certificate from your vets to prove it’s been done, a stamp in there passport is not good enough. Its required for reentering Spain if you don’t have it they can put your dog into quarantine.

Sound advice for pet owners Sue. It really is a lovely country, much greener than we anticipated although haven’t been south yet, lol

Thank you very useful information as it’s something we are considering doing at a later date. Have fun and stay safe x

You’re very welcome Sue. Put it on your list. It’s a must

I just arrived in Morocco yesterday. I consulted your post when planning my trip, and had it open on my phone from my arrival in Algeciras until my final exit from Tangier Med. I can’t thank you enough!!

Hi Gerard and Sue, what a great piece of feedback thank you. We’ve got a great ebook we can share with you too. I’ll drop you an email that might be helpful too. We are due over to Morocco next month, so it is great to know that the process is still current. We really appreciate your comment. Kx

Hi Karen Were looking into travelling to Morocco and you e book and blog is valuable advice that I’m studying. Can you tell me if you’ve got over yet and what the ferry prices are? I searched on the transmediterrean site and it appears to be around €600 return ! Does that seem right ? Hope to get over and maybe see you in travels if your over for a while

Hi Michele glad to hear that the resources have been helpful. We are travelling over next Tuesday/Wednesday although if you go to Carlos in Algeciras you should get prices for the ferry of around €300 for a motorhome and two adults. We’ll give you an update when we cross next week. The co-ords are in the book and blog for Carlos. Just make sure you have cash not credit card. Kx

Very useful. Your info helped get us here safely.

BTW do get yourself a voltage regulator or you may need a new fridge(£2000) Bricoma has them about£50 . Avoid Mr Bricolage as unhelpful and all branches are separate franchises. You need 2000kVA

Morocco is high on our bucket list but I’d never thought of doing it my motorhome. Lots to think about now!

It was a doddle Lisa. You’ll really enjoy it.

I’m so happy to see you guys heading to Morocco. As you know we’ll be in Spain with our car this summer and we’re thinking of flying to a Morocco for a couple of weeks…we never even considered taking the car with us. So you’ve just opened up a world of opportunities. Plus, I want to meet Carlos 😂 Safe trip guys!

Carlos is legend. So is the A4 handwritten note that says I’m in the Bar next door. lol. We had a great time Nicky

I love how chock full of details this post is! I definitely want to get to Morocco so will be closely following your adventures!

We had a blast Heather and so will you.

Would love to visit Morocco but not sure if I would undertake it in a motor home (or caravan, for that matter)! But that is what adventure is about… Great comprehensive guide and enjoy your travels.

Wouldn’t recommend a caravan as many of the roads are quite rough. Although lots of French Motorhomes have trailers…

I can see plenty of caravans on the campsite Carol. The roads in fairness have been better than the pot holed ones in the UK although we are only in Moulay Boussalham which is in the north. Will update folk as to the road conditions as we head further south but so far no problems.

Thank you for this clear and concise information, certainly helps the anxiety levels.

No worries. Nothing to worry about. Morocco is a great place to visit.

Fascinating read – thank you! Doubt I’ll be able to persuade himself to take our motorhome but I can hope……

Happy travels!

That’s a shame Moir. If you need any persuasive help we are here, lol

Your advice regarding conserving has is OK but the electricity on many campsites is far from adequate. Sometimes barely enough to run the fridge and it can do damage… we have installed a voltage regulator to solve this….

They sometimes claim to give you 6 amps and even if you get this it probably won’t run a kettle etc. Or it may do for a bit and then trip everything.

There is no simple solution for a long trip other than buying a local gas bottle….

Regarding Carlos: his daughters’ now run the business

We didn’t see him in January but he was around last time we booked….

Also you get a complimentary bottle of wine and a cake or biscuits with you ticket…

Tis true, Carlos is looking a bit old and his daughter was behind the counter when we entered. Probably best as I saw a hand written a4 poster blue tacked to the copier which said ‘ I’m in the bar next door’. LOL. In and out in 5 minutes, no hassle. Perfect. Haven’t tried the wine yet.

A common problem across Europe but I can only report that we have used a remoska (800W) external oven on two separate campsites and had no issues so far. We will report a more comprehensive assessment on the state of the electricity supplies in campsites after completing our months trip but for now no issues.

Another thing to add about customs etc is that drones are not allowed in Morocco. They only asked us about them and guns… didn’t check for alcohol… Good thing as we had a load of gin and wine boxes under the floor…

I have never traveled with motorhome and it looks like a lot of preparation is required to go with one. Seems like fun, hope you had a great time there

Still having a great time, Richa. Still here and loving it.

I love how detailed your posts are. I am from Spain and I had no idea you could sail to Morocco from anywhere but Tarifa or Algeciras. And I am shocked you did not have any problems, I have heard that almost anyone who passes by ferry with anything larger than a car is thoroughly registered. I would have thought that arriving with a motorhome would be even more of a problem. HAppy to be wrong!

It couldn’t have been easier Jenn. we had a great time

Interesting read. We travelled in Morocco by train, and then later we rented a car. My neighbours had a campervan throughout Europe and left it in Spain when they went to Morocco. You made the steps really clear, but it still seems a bit of work. We had only handshake deal on our car (I still can’t believe we did that AND it turned out fine.)

I know Rhonda. really easy and we had a great time. Can’t wait to go back.

Very interesting indeed, I am considering spending 3 months in Morocco once we are no longer allowed to be in Schengen for more than 90 days in 180. So this info is valuable. Thanks a lot. David (travelingvan47)

You’re very welcome David. We are going back for 3 months next year too. See you there, lol

How many camels were you offered for Karen? 😂 Thanks for another great ‘how to’ post. Maroc is on our to do list. We have been before in 2013 but not in a motorhome. Safe travels.

Hi Graham – sadly they didn’t even offer any camels. Perhaps I was just too assertive for them! It is a great country for motorhome travels and let’s hope we will soon all be free to travel there again soon. Karen x

Having been before, I think this post has given us even more reason to go back and explore some more. Thanks, really good post to read.

Hi Mike, that’s great to hear. We shall certainly be returning once things have settled down and the world feels more stable. Thanks for your feedback. Kx

Thanks for the really useful post 🙂 We’re coming as a family with our young children next winter (as long as the ferries are running) – can’t wait!

However, I just spoke to Comfort and they assured me that they can’t cover Morocco anymore 🙁

Will try Saga and others…

Thanks again

…or maybe not as I’m not over 50!

Ah yes will be a restriction. You could of course get third party cover at the port, although we always feel as if that isn’t really enough cover.

Hi Tim, our pleasure. Yes sadly Comfort have withdrawn their cover for Morocco, Turkey and Montenegro which is a deal breaker for us. So sadly we will be departing from them and going with Saga who do provide cover. I believe they are the only ones who do. Good luck with your search and your plans. Karen

Great read, loads of useful tips so thank you. You were recommended to us by a friend and glad we found you. We are also full time van livers and Morocco looks really inviting.

Be safe and maybe see you on the road somewhere.

Hi John thanks so much for your feedback. Glad it’s been so helpful. As you might have read below, Gerard used this blog throughout his arrival into Morocco and got through with no stress. I have also popped link to our free to download eBook as well, which has a lot more information that might be helpful for you. Have a great trip and likewise hope to see you ‘out there’. Karen x

Firstly let me thank you for such an informative blog. We hope to go to Morocco next year. Two questions: we hear of “hassle”, particularly from children for sweets and toys. Is this an issue? Also we have a motorbike in our garage. We are nit planning to use it (lack of insurance?) but presumably it needs to be declared on entry?

Good morning David. Our pleasure, I’m glad it has been helpful. I don’t think I would describe it as hassle. Yes there are children in some areas that stand on the street asking for ‘stilos’ or ‘bon bons’ although you just drive on by. We were given a great piece of advice by a local that we must not give them gifts, unless it is for a whole school or community. If they receive gifts from their begging of a tourist, the advice was that they will become conditioned this way. So as hard as it might be, we must resist giving them what they ask for. So no, we didn’t find it an issue. Regarding your motorbike yes I would declare it. And in fact you might want to get insurance at the border for it as there were a number of times during our month’s tour where we would love to have had a motorbike to get around. I can’t give a definitive about what action to take regarding the bike as we don’t have one, although we have friends about to embark so if I can get an update, I’ll let you know. Kx

Great article thanks. Just a note that LV offer fully comprehensive for Morocco and will issue a green card to that effect. Ours was £58 for 2 months on top of the reasonable annual premium of £260 for a VW California.

Also you need a ‘1968’ international driving permit (IDP) from the Post Office to drive in Morocco.

Safe travels!

Good morning Huw, thank you for the feedback and knowing about LV. We have also found that Sterling Insurance will give you a temporary cover insurance that is comprehensive, although it is an eye-watering £700-900 on top of your annual insurance. Saga also offer comprehensive cover as part of their annual policy although for us as full-timers none of these (except Sterling) are viable. The IDP does seem to be a new requirement since Jan 21 so we have one just yesterday. Kx

Trans Morocco Motorhome Tour

Please note that this is a fully supported and guided tour, with a support vehicle and crew in full 24/7 attendance. Duration of the tour (Cueta – Agadir) is 17 days, or 19 days if you are returning to Spain with the support vehicle/crew after Agadir. From Agadir the support vehicle and crew will return on a two-day journey to Cueta/Spain, taking the Atlantic Coastal route via Safi, Casa and Rabat. The one overnight stay will be at the small fishing village of Moulay Bousselham. Those not staying-on at Agadir can of course travel with the support vehicle and crew.

Your tour guide/leader (UK) and the support crew (Moroccan) have over 20 years experience in leading expeditions/safaris/tours throughout North Africa. The support vehicle is a fully equipped 4×4 expedition 12-ton truck. All support equip is carried.

French/German/Spanish/Italian/English as well as Arabic (Ancient and Modern) and Berber (plus some local dialects) are spoken.

Unlimited information is available throughout the tour as are demonstrations on adverse driving conditions (sand, track), vehicle recovery, “bush” repairs, traditional cooking demo’s, introduction to “non-tourist” culture, desert survival techniques etc.

Please note that this is very much a “Non Tourist” tour. Rather, this tour has been designed as an introduction to a rapidly disappearing way of life/ cultures whilst offering the opportunity to visit locations little visited and known mostly to our-selves.

Please note that the following itinerary is issued as a guide only and could be subject to alteration should local weather, in-situ, or other, conditions dictate.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!

Proposed itinerary.

Group meeting at Venta Casa Bernardo’s, just east of Algicaris, on the A340. Tour leader will arrange vehicle inspection, documentation check/issue, ferry tickets issue, pre-tour info/report, latest weather and news reports. Earlier arrivals can be contacted and arrangements made (we are based near Malaga).

Early departure for first available/suitable ferry to Cueta (high speed crossing). There will be ample time in Cueta to re-fuel, shopping etc. before proceeding to Spain/Morocco Border proper. Tour leader/guide will clear all vehicle importation, immigration and customs formalities; arrange money exchange and insurance if required. You will be advised in good time on documentation required.

Continue to overnight campsite/location south of Tetouan.

Site is to rear of modern Moroccan restaurant so opportunity to sample local food. There should be time for an evening tour of Tetouane.

Overnight site south of Fez/Mecknes at Volubillis (Roman Ruins).

Route would have travelled over spectacular Riff Mountains.

Overnight camp at either Fez or Mecknes (Formal Campsite)

We will remain at this location for two nights allowing time to arrange tour of Imperial City with traditional evening meal in souk restaurant.

Overnight “Wilderness Camp” in Cedar Forest location (subject to weather)

It is proposed that we wilderness camp in a forest location … Barbary Apes, campfire etc. This is of course subject to present and projected weather conditions, as we don’t want to get bogged or snowed in.

Overnight camp at Source Blue de Meski.

This can either be by choice a formal campsite or open wilderness location. Meski is an Oasis location on the very edge of the Sahara. We will stay here for two nights allowing time for: Guided tour of ruined Kasbah and village, visit to the bustling market town of Er Rachidia and to arrange a couple of local/trad meals.

Overnight at Erg Chebbie Sand Dunes

This is a Sahara desert location and will be reached via made-up roads, track and off road piste (non-damaging). We will spend two nights at this location camping in the folds of the Great Erg Chebbie Dunes. Meals and entertainment (African/Desert Drums) will be at a nearby Ex Legion fort. Camel transport can be arranged for assisted climb to top of 500ft+ dunes for spectacular sunrise.

Overnight at Todra Gorge

Location will be subject to weather and on-site inspection (Snow, rain, flood, road/track conditions/ projection). If weather and projection permits we will proceed up the gorge to an Auberg for an overnight camp with entertainment.

Overnight at Ouarzazate

This is an interesting town known for the nearby film locations. Overnight in formal campsite or hotel car park. Ready for early start.

Today would have been as early start as possible as we would have had to trans the High Atlas via the infamous “Tizzi n Tichka” pass. Very, very spectacular and will be a slow crossing. Overnight will be at a suitable location (there are no campsites in or close to Marrakech). We will spend two nights here for visits to this wonderful city.

Two nights will be spent at the magical Atlantic village/town. Visit the many craft shops, restaurants or just wander around the narrow streets and harbour.

Drive down the Atlantic Coast to suitable campsite/wild location.

Agadir – Cueta

Two day drive along Atlantic Coast. Please see and understand re-notes:

Hi Don We have travelled with GB Privellige on 2 occasions, once to the Loire Valley for 2 weeks and once to Rudesheim in Germany for 6 days. The tours were quite well organised although things did not always go to plan. Also catering for a large number of people with differing and varying attitudes and preferences is not always possible and is bound to lead to complaints of one sort or another. We were novices at motorhoming and had never driven abroad until our tours with GB Privellige. The tours are somewhat on the pricey side, but after all you are dealing with a business and they have to show a profit at the end of the day. We had a great time on both tours and met lots of friendly people, many of which we still remain in contact with. The knowledge and experience we gained from going on these tours has now given us the confidence to plan and travel on our own. We would strongly recommend the tours to someone who is a novice like we were. I have been looking at the tours to Morocco and yes compared with Ray's tour GB prices are way over the top. If ever we go to Morocco, and it is on our to do list, we will travel with Ray.

You are absolutely right Jim, we gained our confidence and now enjoy travelling at our own pace to the destinations we choose. It's great to meet people spend a day or two in their company, wish them bon voyage and move on and meet others However there are people who like the security of others around them at all times, a tour leader who will hopefully sort out all their problems and lead them on to their next destination, happy in the knowledge that all site reservations have been made for them. For this they obviously have to pay a price, but many are happy to do so. The GB tours to Greece in the spring and to Rome, Naples and Assisi in the autumn have already sold out.  

[quote="ScotJimlandThat said, it would be prudent to travel in a group with a guide if the country was potentially hazardous or in a remote hostile region like a dessert.[/quote] Know what you mean jim, dessert sticks to your tyres something rotton. I just cannot get a grip :lol: Olley  

Hi Don The trip to the Loire Valley had about 18 vans The trip to Rudesheim in Germany had about 22 vans GB put a maximum on the number of vans allowed on each trip although I do not think this is strictly adhered to. If a tour was over subscribed by 1 or 2 vans they would probably take them.  

Hi Don..... Thought it prudent to stay on the side of this one, but as you asked............ have don e tours with as few as 5 Mhomes.......10 in the norm max. We will put together ferry, routes, intro's etc etc for solo's...... Having said that this Jan tour has 14 Mhomes but is well staffed with two support vehicles etc.......... Ray

The best souvenirs are home decor

How to shop smartly while you travel.

Journeying to a new place lets you try on what living in another culture feels and looks like, whether you’re exploring the adobe house-filled streets of Santa Fe or the lantern-lit alleys of an ancient Moroccan city. Many travelers, dazzled by the rug sellers of Istanbul or the pottery workshops of Oaxaca, return with worldly housewares or art to decorate their homes.

“A textile, a clay bowl or an object you pick up at a flea market connects you to a time that you’ve enjoyed, a memory of a place,” says Hilary Robertson , a Brooklyn prop stylist and author of “Nomad at Home: Designing the Home More Traveled .” “If you can’t move to Marrakesh or Kyoto, you can at least recreate something of the feeling.”

But snapping up the best items for your particular home requires a bit of strategy and advance planning. Here’s how to shop smartly, how to get your treasures back in one piece, and what to do with them upon your return.

Do your homework

You usually won’t turn up Indigenous handicrafts or interesting local art at an airport store or the hotel gift shop. “So do research before you go, looking up artisan networks, finding out which days flea markets operate, and figuring out what you might even be able to buy in a given place,” says Rachna Sachasinh, owner of Tikkiwallah , an online shop selling fair-trade Thai and Laotian pillow covers, blankets and other textiles.

Seek tips on what to buy and where to shop from your hotel concierge (or short-term rental owner), and via the websites and social media accounts of official tourism boards. You can also flip through old-school guidebooks (Lonely Planet, Rick Steves), which tend to concentrate on local retailers, rather than the location of every West Elm in Mexico City. TikTok and Instagram also offer potential shopping info, but be wary of paid brand placements.

While cool art and vintage home decor are available at most destinations, “you’ll find more handmade items like textiles, rugs and baskets if you travel to places like Morocco, India and Mexico, which still have living crafts cultures,” says Sachasinh.

Consider hiring a shopping pro

To get straight to the treasure hunting, you could hire a tour guide who specializes in shopping for a few hours. Look for market- or retail-specific experiences in your destination on travel booking sites such as Tripadvisor and Tours by Locals ; using the name of a specific place (“Istanbul Grand Bazaar” or “Oaxaca pottery workshops”) can further winnow your search.

You can also try a simple online search to turn up market-savvy private guides such as Buenos Aires Shop Hop (guided jaunts to leather workshops and vintage markets in Argentina) or Maryam Montague , the proprietor of Peacock Pavilions hotel in Marrakesh, who takes travelers on day-long expeditions through the city’s souks looking for fuzzy tribal rugs, bright pottery and leather poufs.

Or go on a crafts- or shopping-focused trip. Tour companies such as Ace Camps and Thread Caravan host week-long trips to meet artisans and make things alongside them in destinations such as Perú (try weaving in the Sacred Valley near Machu Picchu) or Japan (learn how to use shibori indigo dyes or make pottery ).

Luxury trip-planning company Indagare offers frequent style-centric small group tours to Mallorca, Rajasthan and Paris with dinners in designers’ homes, market excursions and meetups with artists. Grant K. Gibson , an interior designer, leads small groups to destinations such as Jaipur, India, and Oaxaca, Mexico, where they visit showrooms, learn about block printing and woodworking techniques, and usually come back with suitcases full of merchandise.

“Design touches on so many passion points — art, history and culture, food and wine — that trips like these are a great linchpin for learning, exploration and meeting fellow design enthusiasts,” says Indagare founder and chief executive Melissa Bradley.

Know what to look for

To support local artisans, look for fair-trade crafts stores, which pay creators fairly for their products and tend to stock goods representative of a destination. Other top bets: flea markets focused on handmade or antique goods, museum shops, and government-sponsored artisan boutiques or networks. For instance, Artesanías de Colombia shops in Bogotá and Cartagena hawk rope hammocks and palm fiber baskets produced by Indigenous weavers.

“And visiting an artisan workshop might give the deepest connection to something handmade, since you get talk to the crafter or even make something beside them,” says Sachasinh, who recommends the weaving workshops and the blanket- and table runner-stuffed store at Ock Pop Tok in Luang Prabang, Laos. At the Seattle Glass Blowing Studio , artists create the delicate bowls and glasses the Pacific Northwest city is known for — and teach beginners how to make their own.

Think about how you’ll get it home

Serendipity and impulse inspire many souvenir purchases. But if you want a Turkish rug for your living room or a vintage Parisian painting to match your bathroom tile, be sure to travel with photos and measurements of the space you have in mind. “I always bring a measuring tape and swatches of any fabric I want to match, too,” says Montague.

Planning on carrying a lot of items home on the plane? Stash a collapsible duffel (Paravel makes a clever zip-down one ) in your luggage, or, for larger purchases, pack an extra, empty hard-sided suitcase. “It’s usually cheaper to pay for an extra checked bag than to ship a lot of things home,” says Montague. Know that oil paintings can be taken off their stretchers and rolled up, and that you can purchase a throw pillow cover that takes up little luggage space and buy the bulky insert when you arrive home.

“I’m wary of checking a bag with breakables, though,” says Bradley, who has ferried glass and pottery back from Cambodia and South Africa in a hard-sided carry-on.

And whether you are two hours away by car or five time zones away by plane, retailers that sell bulky items can generally guide you toward a shipper, even though it’s often not cheap. “I had this great farmhouse dining table shipped from the Paris flea market, and I’ve had people on my trips to India send home inlaid dressers,” says Gibson.

Get creative

Many housewares bought on your travels can be repurposed, and even ordinary goods found in other countries can seem special or elevated compared to what you’d get at home. “I go to Mexican hardware stores, because even basic items like door hooks or storage bins can be so colorful and fun,” says Robertson.

A Navajo rug can serve as a tablecloth; a beaded Maasai collar morphs into a sculpture when displayed on a wire stand. Even the simplest souvenirs — a vintage postcard of Yellowstone National Park, a scrap of fabric — look terrific when nicely framed.

Grouping disparate travel finds on a gallery wall can make them seem cohesive. “I have the most random ... stuff hung on the wall of the staircase at my house — a painting from India, a brass bowl I got in Turkey,” says San Francisco interior designer Chelsea Sachs . “It’s like a chronicle of my life, and these things remind me of special moments when I get back home.” Indagare’s Bradley arranges Iranian tiles, Burmese boxes and Peruvian ceramics amid the novels and art books on her shelves.

Fabrics, buttons and other easy-to-transport materials you snap up on the road can turn into home accents, even if you aren’t especially crafty. Bring home a couple pieces of washi — a Japanese mulberry paper so storied it’s recognized by UNESCO — to hot-glue onto a lampshade or inside a wooden tray. A basket or other object can be turned into a light fixture. “I carried a huge antique rattan birdcage home on a ferry from Provincetown once, and now it’s a chandelier,” says Robertson.

And almost any textile — a striped Peruvian blanket, a vintage quilt from a flea market — can be fashioned into a throw pillow or shower curtain by your drycleaner or used to reupholster a chair seat. “Sometimes stuff has to hang around for a while before you know what you’ll do with it,” says Sachs.

You might not want to amass a cabinet full of souvenir teacups, spoons or snow globes like your great grandparents did. But the concept of picking up one small object everywhere you travel still has some validity; it might save you from overbuying, and even kitschy trinkets can summon memories. Think about scoring a holiday tree ornament or small flower vase every time you go on a trip, or save a few coins from each foreign country you visit to pile into a bowl on your coffee table. “Pieces from different places become integral to your home and allow you to reconnect with a destination and its aesthetic,” says Bradley.

Jennifer Barger writes the Substack “The Souvenirist,” which explores where to travel and what to buy when you get there. She’s on Instagram at @dcjnell.

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
