The scenery
From the High Atlas to the Agafay desert
Terraced villages, red-earth ridges and high pine forests, then the stony ground of Agafay to finish.
The terrain this raid crosses.
Day by day
1Day
Lake, plateau and valley
Briefing and hands-on with the buggies at our base, then the lake tracks and the big climb onto a high plateau facing the Atlas range. Lunch with a local family in a Berber village, through orchards, and on to the evening stop in the heart of a green valley.
2Day
Balcony tracks and a hilltop village
Pure mountain driving: balcony tracks above the valleys, stone-and-earth villages, lunch on the way. In the afternoon, the long climb above 2,000 m, the raid's high point, to the hilltop village where you spend the night.
3Day
The big descent and Agafay
The longest stage of the raid, fast and flowing, across the plateau tracks. Lunch by the lake, then the stony ground of Agafay for a last session at the wheel before heading back to base.
The exact track and our partner stops: in the road book (on request).
What's in it
Three full stages

Dinner and a night in a green High Atlas valley at the foot of the high peaks, after a full first stage.
The hilltop village
A second night in a Berber village clinging to the mountain, at the top of the raid's finest climb: Berber welcome, dinner and a starry sky.
Dinner & fire show
Option: start or end the raid with a dinner-show evening at a luxury camp in Agafay.
