Overview
An introduction to Morocco
Morocco is a country made for overland travel, where historic cities, ancient medinas and dramatic landscapes unfold as you journey across the country. Our adventures offer a different way to experience Morocco, travelling by rail and road through places such as Tangier, Fez and Marrakech, or heading south from Agadir through traditional towns and along the spectacular Atlantic coast. The emphasis is on the journey itself, experiencing the gradual changes in scenery, culture and atmosphere along the way.
Our programme in Morocco is deliberately small and forms part of two distinctive overland adventures. Travel from London by rail through France and Spain before crossing the Strait of Gibraltar and continuing through Morocco to Marrakech, or take the adventure considerably further on our journey from Agadir towards Dakar. The latter heads south through Tiznit and Guelmim before continuing into the remote landscapes of Western Sahara and onwards through Mauritania to Senegal. For those looking for the ultimate experience, the two journeys can be combined to create one remarkable overland adventure all the way from London to Dakar.

When to go
Picking the right season for your trip
Sweet spot: Oct
Our Morocco journeys depart in October, an excellent time for overland travel when the intense heat of summer has generally eased. Days are typically warm and sunny, particularly in the south, while evenings can be noticeably cooler, especially inland and in desert regions. Travelling at this time of year provides comfortable conditions for exploring Morocco’s cities and medinas, as well as for those continuing south through the more remote landscapes of the Atlantic Sahara.

For travellers joining our Agadir to Dakar group adventure who would prefer to reach Morocco without flying, Undiscovered Destinations can arrange an independent overland journey from London to Morocco.

We can arrange the rail journeys and accommodation, allowing you to enjoy the adventure of travelling overland from London before meeting the group in Agadir for the journey south through Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal.
