Morocco Nestles on the Northwest tip of Africa separated by the towering Altas Mountains and by the Sahara itself.

Join Mick Extance, 7 times Paris Dakar competitor on his trip back to his old stomping ground along many of the routes he actually did during his long history with the Rally!

Morocco is a country to be absorbed!

Morocco’s terrain is one of the most diversified and adventurous in the world. Its geography includes no less than four separate mountain ranges, in addition to lush river valleys, beautiful sandy coasts, and wide expanses of desert. In the southeast, Morocco's mountain ranges yield inexorably to the desolate expanse of the Sahara. The rivers that flow down this side of the High Atlas support long, narrow, and lush river valleys that resemble linear oases.

Our adventure starts in Ouazarzate. The gateway to the Sahara.
