For the impatient, to start this road, by direct insight into our trip Video (watch in HD please) . Mounting homemade, I hope you enjoy it
- Route A simple and convenient Morocco: A step = some = some pictures.
- A printable format (pdf) if you wish to and usable tablet.
- An easily scalable route to the length of your trip.
- You will discover the true culture Moroccan sleeping Homestay (gites, bed and breakfasts, small family hotels, ...).

- By reading our little guides ( Where to go in Ireland , Where to go in Corsica and hopefully soon Where to go in Canada) , we give you want to drive to other countries in this way and especially to continue to live the blog.
As you can see, we decided to go to the adventure in the lands south of Morocco where the scenery is the most beautiful .
Attention no preparation, no guide or backpacker Lonely planet with us, no reservations, no defined steps, just a car and an idea of the loop to achieve in a week (9 days to be exact) to realize our route . One way to travel cheap as we like.
"Do not be a tourist, be adventurer year" as I always say .
It is a "road trip" that we wanted as well. We trusted the advice of Moroccan friends inbred and especially games on the road while avoiding the bad intentions of some people and that's the most difficult part. Inshallah !!
Our instinct and especially our experience in this type of travel we have of course helped to find good deals in Morocco .
From this, it is to be totally objective and discover places and nooks preserved thanks to local residents. Not 5 star hotels with swimming pools and hamam small but comfortable rooms homestay and guaranteed to be greeted like real guests and; for a cheap price (10-20 € / person for the dinner + night + bf we loins of proposed hotels rates).
Morocco, a country worthy of those landscapes of Utah in the United States (I know what I'm talking there lived three months
Morocco, hearty meals at the restaurant for 4 € per person.
Morocco, a very interesting cultural study on capitaliserez you when you return you will see.
Morocco, a country that leaves room for adventure without risk.
Morocco, land of 1001 nights with oases, palm groves, short contrasting greens stuck in secret gorges.
You'll understand the Morocco is a paradi handy at 3am flight to France.
I know you're in a hurry but before you start, you'll learn a few benchmarks that will be useful during your trip (you can check it out again on the plane):
- 10 dh is equal to about 1 €.
- A flat costs on average 40DH (4 €) in a Moroccan restaurant.
- A room with half board costs 400dh for two (dinner + night + bf).
- Average théillère classic stainless 150dh costs about a souk in Morocco.
- The cost of living is about half view 2/3 cheaper than in France (€ 4 so expect a dish in Morocco when it would cost 8 or 10 € in France This will avoid many scams..
- Sample Budget for our 9 day trip : € 250 (car) + € 600 (AR plane) + € 110 (meals pm) + € 280 (dinner + night + bf) + 60 € refueling = € 1,300 2
- Purchase a donkey costs between 500 and 1000 dh dh next season while a mule costs between 10,000 and 10,500 dh dh (that was for fun, can be for our next trip)
I'll try to give you the prices paid by dh, you can then convert these benchmarks but you still fall about the same rates.
First things needed to be done before starting the path are finding a bank to have cash(allow wide as bank charges are generally fixed so better withdraw once many many small time).
Then buy some water (one or two bottles max because you will always rab purchased the restaurant bottle and hop first board !!!) then make sure you have a full tank.
To get out of the city, the directions are not really set in Marrakech . We must therefore rely on your compass to go south if you do not have detailed maps or GPS.
Marrakech you head towards Ouarzazate via the mountains of the Atlas. Highway is long but beautiful . You will see many children selling their harvest to the side of the road as well as adults who offer precious stones.
Recall, if you beckon people to stop because they are down, it is surely hawkers or touts, do not stop, honk if necessary.
For fuel, there are none on the road to the top is why I advise you to refuel Marakech.Anyway, know that you will find Agouin, you can already surround on your card.
Upon arrival, the guest room looking Brahim Bolkaid 00212 671 816312bolkaid_ebrahim@hotmail.com . To get there, you have to take a lane right in the middle of the village. It is normally indicated. Leave the car there for free, drop your business, ask for information to Brahim if necessary.
First visit on your itinerary, go see the ruins on the other side of the river. It will take 1 hour minimum. Please note admission is free despite what you may be asked to the first input.Walk along the ramparts to the right of the entrance and enter further if necessary.
Chez Brahim, count 400dh night for two with dinner and breakfast included dej.The view from the terrace is beautiful because it overlooks the ruins (old village).This is one of the best steps that we have made in Morocco.
Otherwise, here is the list of places to Ait Ben Haddou . I highly recommend if you want to book Booking before leaving. To each his own definition of adventure, I totally understand especially when you share with her children or when there is already a certain age.
In the evening you can go to the village after (about 5km further north) to admire the sunset as we did and as you'll see in our video. If you do not want to embark on the banks of the river against the bottom, you can stay on top of the cliff on the edge of the road ...
Back to Ait Ben Haddou, after Brahim great meal, enjoy a good night in one of its five rooms.Nothing to say, everything was perfect !!
Wake up at 7am the next day for the "big" breakfast on the terrace . It was at this point that you do the best photos of the ruins as the colors are beautiful during the "Golden Hours".
Already a much more beautiful than Marrakech city. I advise you to spend the morning.Please visit the Film Museum at the entrance (allow 1 hour visit to 50dh / person anyway but it's a classic that will allow you to see the scenes of mythical film like Gladiator and Asterix Mission Cleopatra that really remained unchanged) and the Kasbah Taourirtwhere you can see how there once lived the rich . Do not wait too long and continue to Ouarzazate.
Shortly before Skoura on your route, you will have the Palmeraie on your left , you can go to get lost a little. We took the latter indicated by "camping Amridil" track. Then you need to head towards "the gardens of Ouarzazate" and stop when you want to admire these beautiful palm trees ...
Then join the city of Ouarzazate. With any luck, you'll be there on Monday and will survey the impressive souk and are doing good business because it is not touristy .
Eat "At boss Barbu - the palm" all against the souk.
I suggest you also make your payments on this souk which will cost you much less than that of Marrakech !! .
Between Ouarzazate and Dades Boumaine you spend in the famous Valley of Roses . You can go walk around a bit because this is a classic on this route. The guide book will give you more information.
Last tip, not least, c 'is a secret oasis preserved tourists 15km south of Ouarzazate .The name of this oasis that was recommended to me by a friend who is currently working in Skoura, is Sidi Flah (thank you Anne Sophie). It is reached by a trail that leads south.Unfortunately I was not aware of this gem on our trip to Morocco. So, I share with you one of the pictures of Anne-so.
If you stay a little longer than we in Morocco, you can spend a day or two Skoura in one of these rooms .
For me, the Dades Gorge is the place I chose our path in Morocco as these gorges are much less crowded than those of Todra .
We stayed at the Hotel Restaurant MIRGUINE in ALI 00212 68763804 hotel_ali@voila.fr KM14 on the Gorges road (top of a rise just before switching, you can not miss it).
Lovely view of the rooms:
Although the meal was not extraordinary view on it is superb and Ali made us discover the Gorge the next day through a big hike (pass through canyons, troglodytes, monkey paws ...).
If you want to stroll through the palm you can start 100m from the hotel by taking the lane on the outside of the turn. If you want a true hiking in the Gorge and more specifically in the canyon between the finger monkey , ask Ali, who will guide you with pleasure.
Otherwise there are other typical small hotels on the gorge road (evidenced on the booking card). Although many hotels are Boumaine Dades, the city that marks the beginning of the road to the throats, I advise you to go to sleep in the grooves, it's more fun.
To continue your trip to Morocco and going to Todra Gorge , you have to turn on the R704 and go through Boumaine Dades, we ate a piece coffee ALHOURIA restaurant at the entrance to the market place on the main road . You can ride on the terrace inside and enjoy the good chips at good prices .
