The first light over the Strait of Gibraltar lifts the whitewashed facades of Tangier into a hard, clean clarity. Travelers on this private 10-day loop trade the port’s salt air for mountain pine and Saharan dust: within hours the car is threading blue alleys in Chefchaouen, days later it will grind up Tizi n’Tichka at 2,260 meters, then finally sink into the orange shoulder of Erg Chebbi’s dunes.

Adventure Tips
Break up long drives
Ask your driver to schedule photo stops and short walks on longer transfer days—several drives are 4–6 hours.
Pack layers for altitude
Tizi n’Tichka can be cold in the morning; bring an insulating midlayer even in summer.
Cash for markets and tips
ATMs exist in major towns, but carry small-dirham notes for souks, tippers, and remote villages.
Protect gear from sand
Use dry bags or sealed pouches for cameras and electronics during the Sahara transfer.
