Driving Morocco's MOST FAMOUS Road : High Atlas and Dades Gorges

Driving through the High Atlas Mountains to the Dadès Gorges is one of the most epic road trips in Morocco. In this video, we take you along Morocco’s most famous road — from steep climbs and winding switchbacks to the legendary serpentine road of the Dades Gorges. We leave Casablanca behind and head deep into the Atlas Mountains, passing small villages, meeting locals, and experiencing unforgettable Moroccan hospitality. Along the way, we face a few vanlife challenges, enjoy traditional Moroccan tea, and finally reach the breathtaking views of the Dades Valley. If you’re planning a Morocco road trip, this drive through the High Atlas and Dades Gorges should be at the top of your list. Whether you’re traveling by campervan, overlanding, or just dreaming of exploring Morocco, this route is a must-see. 🚐 Join us as we continue our Africa overland journey from Morocco to South Africa in our vintage Mercedes van. ——————————————— ✨ How it all began We met in Australia in 2015 — two adventurers drawn together by a love of travel and discovery. 🚴‍♂️ The first big trip In 2017, we cycled from Germany to Croatia over three months, embracing slow travel and the freedom of the open road. 🏔 A new chapter in Switzerland We moved to Switzerland to save money and prepare for our dream journey ahead. 🚐 Mochi joins the family In 2019, we bought Mochi, our vintage Mercedes van, and spent years converting her into our perfect home on wheels. ⏳ Unexpected delays 2020 delayed our plans, but we used the time to perfect Mochi and prepare for the journey of a lifetime. 🔥 Now it’s time We arrived in Morocco a few weeks ago, and we are loving every moment — the landscapes, culture, people, and finally discovering the wildlife.
