Overview

A long expedition inspired by the 15-day Morocco Grand Traverse route: mountain tracks, cedar country, wild camps, remote south-eastern pistes, the Erg Chegaga crossing and the Atlantic coast. It is designed as an expedition rather than a fixed coach itinerary, so daily camps and exact tracks remain flexible.
