02 — The route

Ten days, day by day.

A soft landing: a riad in the medina, a short walk at dusk, and dinner within walking distance. No itinerary required.

This is an editorial route suggestion, not a live conditions report. Check road, weather and vehicle access before you drive.

“Leave room for the day with nothing in it. That is where the route begins.”

03 — Good to know

The honest answers.

Do I need a car?

The route assumes a car for the middle section. It gives you the driving order and stop notes; it does not arrange a rental, a driver or a 4×4 transfer. Confirm current vehicle access with a local operator.

Who is it for?

Independent travellers who want a clear route rather than a tour. It is most useful if you are comfortable driving long distances and making your own bookings.

Is anything paid?

No. The full itinerary is on this page. There is no PDF, checkout, email list or paid edition.

04 — Sources

Check before you go.

Opening times, road access and local conditions can change. These official pages are the place to confirm the details.
