The best ideas for motorhome itineraries in Morocco
Morocco is a vast country. Its culture is very rich, and you can make several trips in a single stay in Morocco. Your trip will be different, depending on whether you take a motorhome tour of Morocco's cultural sites. Magnificent beaches, unspoilt natural landscapes, ochre and red Berber villages in the desert. Morocco is a bridge between tradition and modernity. There's so much to see and do in Morocco.
Hire a motorhome from Spain or locally, and you'll see so many possible itineraries with more taste. You can either travel the length and breadth of the country, taking in landscapes from north to south and east to west, or you can narrow down your area. But it's only after a few weeks that you'll have time to explore the real Morocco and meet the locals. Don't forget to visit Ouarzazate and stay in a luxury hotel.
The ideal time to travel by motorhome in Morocco.
Due to its great geographical diversity, Morocco has a variety of climates. Summers can be very hot, especially when there are hot winds. And the temperature range in the desert can be wide (cold nights, hot days). The mountainous regions of Reeves and the Central Atlas are well-watered, except in summer. Although Morocco's climate is generally Mediterranean, the country is affected by the currents of the Atlantic Ocean, and the hot, dry seasons are linked to the cold, wet seasons.
By contrast, the climate in southern Morocco and the Sahara is desert-like and dry. So, depending on the region you visit, the climate is affected by the ocean, the Mediterranean, the mountains and the Sahara desert. Consequently, the best time to motorhome travel in Morocco is spring (April and May) and early autumn (October). The weather is dry and the temperature is neither suffocating nor cold.
The different motorhome parks in Morocco
Camping in Morocco, as in France, is prohibited. But it is advisable to qualify, because motorhome travel in Morocco and parking in parking spaces (for example) is not so much free camping. However, it is forbidden to set up tables, chairs, gas stoves and recliners on the public highway.
In any case, there are more and more campsites in Morocco, even if they can be very basic, consisting of dry, rocky terrain. Sanitary facilities are simple. As in France, you can park your car in any of the regular parking spaces. But avoid parking and sleeping in built-up areas, town centres and remote areas, particularly near the borders with Mauritania and Algeria.
