Driving more than 10,000 km in eight weeks, our roadtrip included many unforgettable adventures. Watch as we explore remote landscapes, climb high peaks, battle breath-taking dust-topias (double pun, yeah!), and navigate the hectic bustle of Morocco\u2019s major cities. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you:<br \/>\nA big THANK YOU goes to Saloua Dabhi who helped tremendously with pronouncing Moroccan names. Additionally, we\u2019d like to thank Christina Neumann (https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tyn.91) for her insights into correctly identifying many bird species. And, of course, a big thank you to La Sultana (https:\/\/www.lasultanahotels.com) for welcoming us to both of their wonderful properties.<\/p>\n<p>Key Stats:<br \/>\nDuration of trip: 53 days<br \/>\nDistance driven: 10,431 km<br \/>\nLitres of Diesel: ca. 1453,16 l<br \/>\nFuel consumption: 13,9 l<br \/>\nTime of year: January-March<br \/>\nTotal cost: Roughly 6800 Euro (Fuel 2000 Euro, Ferries Genua-Tanger Med 2480 Euro, Activities 230 Euro, Tolls, Taxi &amp; Parking 50 Euro, Mobile Internet 58 Euro, Accommodation 310 Euro (excluding stay at La Sultana), Food &amp; Drink ca. 1600 Euro)<br \/>\nVehicle: WorldCruiser 2 by Tom\u2018s Fahrzeugtechnik &#8211; https:\/\/www.toms-fahrzeugtechnik.de<br \/>\nAccommodation: La Sultana Oualidia &amp; La Sultana Marrakech &#8211; https:\/\/www.lasultanahotels.com<\/p>\n<p>Say hello:<br \/>\n\u25ba http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ruggedroadtrips<br \/>\n\u25ba http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lucastjahn<br \/>\n\u25ba https:\/\/www.ruggedroadtrips.com<\/p>\n<p>Music:<br \/>\n\u25ba Artlist &#8211; Get a free trial: https:\/\/artlist.io\/Lucas-2814407<br \/>\n\u25ba Epidemic Sound &#8211; Get a free trial: https:\/\/www.epidemicsound.com\/referral\/r5h8z7\/ <\/p>\n<p>Equipment:<br \/>\n\u25ba Our Camera Bags: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3UjowfN<br \/>\n\u25ba Gear List &#8211; https:\/\/kit.co\/LucasTJahn\/filmmaking<\/p>\n<p>Real Talk:<br \/>\nDespite our attempt at keeping our Morocco Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting videos. What you don\u2019t see are the hours spent driving through less spectacular landscapes or some of the unpleasant challenges we faced. <\/p>\n<p>Did we like everything about Morocco?<br \/>\nFar from it. As mentioned in the video, the huge amount of trash definitely dampened our experience. Additionally, we were surprised by the sheer number of begging children. During our trip, we counted a minimum of 500 children asking us for money or sweets. While Morocco undoubtedly has to combat poverty, this behavior often seemed less dictated by need and more by opportunity. Stopping and giving is an individual choice, of course, but when we didn\u2019t we were regularly flipped off, kicked after, or hurled insults at.<br \/>\nIn general, though, we perceived most Moroccans as extremely friendly and helpful. The best example is the three local men who selflessly helped us to change our ruptured tire. We cannot thank them enough.<\/p>\n<p>Full Disclosure:<br \/>\nThis trip was entirely self-funded. However, we did enjoy a two-night complimentary stay at La Sultana Oualidia and a two-night complimentary stay at La Sultana Marrakech.<\/p>\n<p>#morocco #traveldocumentary <\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro<br \/>\n01:19 Arrival<br \/>\n01:30 Chefchaouen<br \/>\n02:45 Talassemtane National Park<br \/>\n04:12 Mediterranean Coastline<br \/>\n06:40 Into the Sahara Desert<br \/>\n08:20 Seclusion of the desert<br \/>\n10:24 Towards Iche<br \/>\n11:20 No Drones allowed<br \/>\n11:52 Desert Cauliflower<br \/>\n12:25 Figuig<br \/>\n13:34 Snow in the desert<br \/>\n14:35 The importance of water<br \/>\n15:16 Rheris Gorge<br \/>\n16:20 Khettara aka Foggara<br \/>\n17:17 Gara Medouar<br \/>\n18:00 Erg Chebbi<br \/>\n24:06 Taouz to M&#8217;hamid<br \/>\n24:38 Lost City<br \/>\n25:39 Arabian Camels<br \/>\n27:30 Taouz to M&#8217;hamid<br \/>\n29:25 Erg Lehoudi<br \/>\n30:40 Erg Zaher<br \/>\n33:00 Dust-Topia<br \/>\n33:55 Erg Chegaga<br \/>\n35:58 Donkeys<br \/>\n37:05 Rock formations near Foum-Zguid<br \/>\n38:01 Cleaning the air filter<br \/>\n38:35 Rock Carvings of A\u00eft Ouazik<br \/>\n39:46 Jbel Saghro<br \/>\n41:40 Barbary Ground Squirrels<br \/>\n41:58 Todgha Gorge<br \/>\n42:30 Akhiamm Rock Arch<br \/>\n43:03 Dad\u00e8s Gorge<br \/>\n44:12 Valley of Roses<br \/>\n45:22 Rammed earth architecture<br \/>\n45:50 Desert rain<br \/>\n46:33 Western Sahara<br \/>\n48:33 Dhakla<br \/>\n48:54 Border to Mauritania<br \/>\n50:05 Assalama Shipwreck<br \/>\n50:31 Khenfiss National Park<br \/>\n51:46 Ksar Tafnidilt<br \/>\n52:18 Plage Blanche 4&#215;4 Trail<br \/>\n57:54 Argan Tree<br \/>\n58:25 Amtoudi<br \/>\n58:57 Anti-Atlas<br \/>\n59:24 Painted Rocks of Tafraout<br \/>\n01:00:24 Souss-Massa National Park<br \/>\n01:01:37 Essaouria<br \/>\n01:03:10 La Sultana Oualidia<br \/>\n01:05:26 Hammam Treatment<br \/>\n01:06:00 Lagoon of Oualidia<br \/>\n01:06:48 Marrakesh<br \/>\n01:07:30 Djemaa el Fna<br \/>\n01:09:10 Bahia Palace<br \/>\n01:09:42 La Sultana Marrakesh<br \/>\n01:11:13 Saadian Tombs<br \/>\n01:11:42 Storks<br \/>\n01:12:26 Climbing Mount Toubkal<br \/>\n01:16:55 Tizi&#8217;n&#8217;Test Mountain Pass &amp;
