Distance: 190 km · Duration: 3h on N8 · Toll: none The blue and white Atlantic city. Well-maintained road, argan tree landscapes (look for goats in the trees). Direct route, no highway. In Essaouira, park at Bab Doukkala (10 MAD/h) and walk the medina. Beautiful but windy beaches (kitesurf paradise). Day trip possible but tight, one night is more comfortable.

Distance: 30 km · Duration: 45 min · Toll: none The "white desert", 30 km southwest of Marrakech. Ideal for half a day: quad ride, dinner under Berber tent, sunset on stony dunes. Our SUVs handle the access tracks. For the desert itself (4×4 on sand), take an organized tour — our cars stay at the camp parking.
