Not a longtime idea, but a desire that came about naturally: to go with my mother and sister, somewhere completely different from what we know, somewhere where everything appeals to all the senses at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two generations, one rental car, eight days. My mother discovering Africa for the first time. My sister and I somewhere between guides and travel companions. And a country that welcomed us with its colors, its smells, its contrasts, and a hospitality we never expected to experience so intensely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn't a family trip in the classic sense of the term \u2014 no kids, no strollers, no minute-by-minute itinerary. It's something rarer and more precious: time with adults, with your mother, with your sister, in a place that completely takes you out of your everyday Quebecois life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We crossed Marrakech and its enchanting medinas, slept under the stars in the Merzouga desert, traversed the labyrinthine alleys of Fes, and followed the Atlantic coast to Casablanca. Eight days, four major stops, breathtaking mountain roads in the Dades \u2014 and memories we'll carry for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, we tell you everything: our day-by-day itinerary, what we truly loved, what we would have done differently, and all the practical details for organizing your own road trip in Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Morocco Road Trip Itinerary: 8 Days Day by Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/iasolutionqc.ca\/cartes\/maroc_road_trip_fr.html\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We took a large loop starting from Casablanca, heading south to the desert, then back up towards Fes before returning to the coast. It's geographically logical, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth travel, and it allows you to see the country's landscape change completely from one stage to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Day 1:<\/strong> Arrival in Casablanca, car pickup, drive to Marrakech \u2014 medina, Jemaa el-Fna, tanneries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 2:<\/strong> Route to Dad\u00e8s \u2014 stop in Ouarzazate (Atlas Film Studios), overnight at the riad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 3:<\/strong> Route to Merzouga \u2014 stop at Todra Gorges, bivouac under the stars, Berber campfire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 4:<\/strong> Return to the Riad \u2014 SUV Safari, Oasis Tour, Dune Buggy Riding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 5:<\/strong> Drive to Fes (~7h) \u2014 recovery day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 6:<\/strong> Guided tour of Fes \u2014 medina, tanneries, artisans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 7:<\/strong> Volubilis, Rabat, return to Casablanca and <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Day 8 <\/strong>Return flight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Car rental tip:<\/strong> Book with an established company and check the vehicle's condition upon pickup \u2013 fuel tank, air conditioning, warning lights \u2013 before signing anything.

We landed in the morning, got the vehicle\u2014under circumstances we'll discuss in the Marrakech section\u2014and headed straight south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had the chance to see a bit more of Casablanca on the way back, or at least we hoped to. But Morocco had other plans for our last day. If you have time, the Hassan II Mosque is said to be unmissable. We, on the other hand, ended up washing the rental car before returning it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to sleep if you have a layover:<\/strong> A hotel 5-10 minutes from Mohammed V Airport is the most convenient solution if you're leaving early the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marrakesh \u2014 trial by fire (literally)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"1995\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Marrakech - Olive\" class=\"wp-image-1995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0001.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"1996\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Marrakech - Lamb cooked underground\" class=\"wp-image-1996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0005.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1998\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Marrakech - Spices\" class=\"wp-image-1998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260516-WA0010.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happened even before arriving<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We start at the beginning: picking up the car at Casablanca airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rental company clearly indicated they had a counter at the airport. After 20 minutes of circling around without finding it, we realized they simply deliver the cars on-site \u2013 no physical office. We called them. He arrived 30 minutes late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The car? Delivered with the tank on. <em>E<\/em> and a light <em>Check Engine<\/em> on. The cruise control doesn't work. The \u2019upgrade\u00ab he proudly announces. And to top it all off, when leaving the airport parking lot with the vehicle, we have to pay the parking fees\u2014which the rental company should have paid themselves. I argue with the attendant. I lose. We leave a little frustrated, but the drive to Marrakech is beautiful and the scenery is already starting to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arriving in town on a Saturday at noon, it was total chaos. The GPS directed me into a medina alley that got narrower with every meter. At one point, my car wouldn't fit anymore. Dozens of people improvised as guides, helping me back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m giving the name of our riad to a man on the spot. He tells me it\u2019s a few steps away, offers to take care of parking \u2014 he moves a taxi and two mules so we can park \u2014 and puts our luggage on a cart before we can say no. \u00abFollow me, it\u2019s not far.\u00bb It was more than 500 meters away. He asks us for 150 dirhams upon arrival. We are exhausted, our brains aren\u2019t calculating anymore. We pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The medina, the tanneries, and the day's lessons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After dropping off our luggage, we headed out to explore again. My sister really wanted to eat at Amin's \u2014 whole lamb cooked underground, it's an institution. We quickly got lost in the alleyways and stumbled upon it by chance. There was one table left. The meal was excellent \u2014 tasty, generous, authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing on, a man tells us to go see the tanneries: the artisans are there for the last day before the Sheep Festival. We follow his directions. At every wrong turn, a Good Samaritan appears to put us back on the right path \u2013 as if by chance, always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We finally find the tanneries. A man lets us in, shows us around, and gives us lots of fascinating information about the tanning process. Then he takes us to a leather shop. It\u2019s beautiful\u2014clothes, belts, poufs, slippers. My sister falls in love with the poufs. The bargaining begins. We knock 40 % off the price. We think we got a good deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we leave, the spontaneous \u00abguide\u00bb always awaits us. He wants to take us to the spice shops. And then, he asks us for money for the tannery tour. We no longer understand anything. Tension rises. We end up paying to avoid escalation. And the good Samaritan who had shown us the way reappears too\u2014to ask for money in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We're off again, curse this weather, we pull out Google Maps, and 20 minutes later we're at the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>What we should have known<\/strong> In Moroccan medinas, be wary of \u00abspontaneous guides\u00bb who appear to offer help. They are often very friendly \u2014 and their help is genuine \u2014 but it is rarely free. Agree on a price before following someone, or hire an official guide from the start. This prevents misunderstandings and end-of-day frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the evening, we went back to Jemaa el-Fna square to see the hustle and bustle and the street food stalls. And there, Marrakech showed us its true face: alive, colorful, noisy, enchanting. We forgot the frustrations of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The air conditioning episode<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had forgotten to mention: upon arriving in Marrakech, the vehicle's air conditioning had failed. I wrote to the rental company. No response. I ended up calling them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their solution: return to Casablanca to change cars. Except the next day I had a five-hour drive south \u2013 adding a six-hour detour was impossible. After more than 30 minutes of haggling, I mention that my mother is 75 years old and won't be able to handle the desert heat without air conditioning. That if the car isn't suitable, it's their problem. They finally agree to an exchange in Marrakech. Meeting scheduled for 10:30 the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to sleep:<\/strong> A riad in the medina remains the best way to experience Marrakech from the inside. Book early, confirm the exact address with the owner, and ask him how to reach the entrance on foot from the nearest parking \u2013 this will save you a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ouarzazate and the Dades Valley \u2014 The Road as the Destination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2001\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Morocco - Atlas\" class=\"wp-image-2001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0049-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2002\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Atlas Studios\" class=\"wp-image-2002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260517-WA0067-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2003\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"atlas - route\" class=\"wp-image-2003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260517_131552.jpg 1199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delayed departure, but a magnificent drive<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial plan was to leave at 8 AM.

We read the site of <em>Game of Thrones<\/em> Due to lack of time, but the studio tour is well worth it. The guide is funny, knowledgeable, and the tour is much more interesting than we expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Dades Valley and the dream riad<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The road between Ouarzazate and Dades is flatter and less spectacular than what came before \u2013 honestly, not the most exciting part of the journey. But the arrival at the riad more than makes up for it: a building that looks like a medieval castle sprung up in the middle of nowhere, in absolute silence. The kind of place where you put down your bags and can finally breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where to sleep:<\/strong> Riads in the Dades Valley often offer excellent value for money - look for something with a terrace to enjoy the scenery in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Merzouga \u2014 the desert, the camels, and my mother on an ATV<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Todra Gorge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"878\" data-id=\"2005\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751.jpg\" alt=\"Todra Gorge - Valley\" class=\"wp-image-2005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751.jpg 1560w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_073751-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" data-id=\"2007\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024.jpg\" alt=\"Todra Gorge - Goats\" class=\"wp-image-2007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0024-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_104850.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"911\" data-id=\"2004\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_104850.jpg\" alt=\"Todra Gorge\" class=\"wp-image-2004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_104850.jpg 513w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_104850-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_104850-7x12.jpg 7w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the way to Merzouga, a must-see stop at the Todra Gorge \u2014 cliffs rising over 300 meters on either side of a narrow canyon crossed by a river. It's extremely touristy, but arriving early makes all the difference. We had a quiet hour before the crowds started pouring in. Magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Le Riad Mamouche - An absolute favorite<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just before arriving in Merzouga, we received a message from the owner of Riad Mamouche. He had organized our first night in a tent in the desert, but he warned us: it's very hot right now. Upon arrival, he recommended that we enjoy the pool before heading to the bivouac late in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That's exactly what we did \u2014 and it was the right plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I highly recommend this riad. The owner is attentive, generous, and full of good advice. He thought of everything, anticipated our needs, and made our stay in Merzouga memorable\u2014far beyond the dunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 5:30 PM, an SUV picks us up to take us to our dromedaries. An hour and a half ride in the desert to reach the camp \u2013 it's long, and surprising at first (dromedaries are tall and move in jolts), but everyone loved it. And nobody wanted to take the SUV back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Night at the bivouac<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2008\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Merzouga - tent\" class=\"wp-image-2008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260518_193900.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2009\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Merzouga - desert installation\" class=\"wp-image-2009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260519_075016.jpg 1560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2012\" src=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Merzouga - Dromedary\" class=\"wp-image-2012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/voyagefamille.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IMG-20260518-WA0065.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the camp, we watched the sun set over the dunes. A quick shower. And a dinner that we didn't expect to be so good\u2014generous, flavorful, and served with care. Followed by a campfire, drumming, and Berber songs and dances late into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It had been a long time since I'd seen my mother smile so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The return of the SUV... extreme version<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next morning, a hearty breakfast, then back towards the riad. I ask the driver if we can go through the dunes instead of the track. He asks us if we're scared. We say no. He turns the music up loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What followed was something between a rollercoaster and an action movie: high-speed climbs, steep descents, 90-degree turns at the top of the dunes. The driver drove as if the dunes belonged to him\u2014because, clearly, they did. We had an incredible amount of fun.

I was in the wrong, I didn't haggle. But his attitude was unnecessarily condescending and aggressive. We lost over an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes the anecdote even more striking is the contrast: throughout the journey, we had been stopped by at least four police checkpoints on the roads.

There's always something to negotiate, understand, or decipher. The unexpected is part of the journey \u2014 the light <em>Check Engine<\/em>, the air conditioning breaking down, the spontaneous guide waiting for his commission, the policeman from Rabat, food poisoning in the middle of the desert. We wouldn't recommend anyone go through that, but we regret nothing either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Memorable because, amidst all of that, there were moments we will never experience anywhere else. The dunes of Merzouga at sunset. The SUV driver who drives like a maniac with the music blasting. The Berber campfire under a starry sky. And my 75-year-old mother, speeding on a quad bike through the dunes while her son is sick in his room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you had three pieces of advice to give to those who want to redo this trip: hire an official guide in Marrakech and Fes, choose your car rental companies carefully and check everything upon pickup, and leave room for the unexpected \u2014 that's often when Morocco shows itself most generous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rest, you'll find out for yourselves.
