After a goodbye with Philippe in a windy and cloudy morning, we continued south and took a break between Igherm and Taroudant. We skipped Taliouine but still had a beautiful drive.

About 30 km before Agadir, we stopped in the charming rural commune of Gfifat (Lagfifat) in Taroudant province, where we picked up fresh produce at low prices.

Arriving in lively Agadir felt like a vibrant contrast after the peaceful mountains in Tizi n'Haroun and relaxed Tata. We quickly loaded up on groceries and headed to our stunning wild camping spot at Tifnit beach.

Just 30 minutes later, two friendly military officers stopped by, impressed we had come from Tata. They welcomed us and assured us we could camp safely for the night.

We woke up to the soothing sound of waves, local fishermen, and surfers, with a camel grazing in front of our Dirty Panda — pure magic!

After a pleasant 3-hour drive from the beautiful Tifnit sand dunes, we set up camp early in Assaka for a relaxing evening. We had a lovely breakfast the next day and headed out at 11am to explore the spectacular Plage Blanche dunes. Thomas dropped the tire pressure to 1.2 bar, and with high tide approaching at 14:30, we felt confident.

The dunes were breathtaking, but when the engine started losing power, we calmly decided to turn back rather than losing our home on wheels to the ocean. By 14:00 we were safely out — a quite tense moment, but we handled it well and learned a useful lesson for next time!

A quick 40-minute drive took us to Tantan, where we gave Dirty Panda a refreshing wash and I happily bought new slippers. The old pair, fixed in Norway, had survived Erg Chebbi but vanished in Plage Blanche!

We then continued to Ksar Tafnidilt for a wonderful two-night stay at a beautiful desert camp. There we met a friendly French group in their Toyota during our first night stay, shared travel stories and wine under the stars, and ended the day relaxing after a memorable adventure filled with stunning landscapes and good lessons.

Onward with smiles!

After thoroughly cleaning Dirty Panda’s interior, we headed over to Jaboud Garage in Zagora for new stabilizer rubber bushings, a spotless wash, and a few other goodies! We also said our goodbye to the dutch couple as they headed further south, whilst we stay 1 night more. The next morning, after a great breakfast, Patrick hugged us goodbye as he set off back to Switzerland. We jumped in the car and drove toward Foum Zguid, eventually setting up camp near the charming village of Tlite.

The following day we tackled the spectacular Tizi N’Haroun pass, planning to exit in Taliouine — but we were stopped by a massive pile of huge stones blocking the road! The road workers told us they’d clear them so we could pass. What incredible hospitality 🫂🩷— imagine that happening in Switzerland- we'll have to turn back!😆

Later the stone walls had washed out, probably due to heavy rain in the past 2 days in the country so we improvised by building a makeshift bridge with big rocks to cross. We navigated so many riverbeds that we finally decided to stop after 19:00, set up camp, and enjoyed a wonderful warm shower with sunset view. The broken table didn't bother us because we can fix it.

We decided to take only about 75% of the planned route and exit south of Tissint — we rated this passage level 5, pretty advanced for us! In Tata we had an amazing surprise reunion with Philippe, whom we last saw in Norway almost a year ago. He was heading north while we continued south. We shared a fantastic lunch and dinner together, swapping stories late into the evening, before saying farewell the following morning.

What an absolute EPIC adventure on the road!

From driving out of Figuig, only to get playfully blocked by a camel chilling in the middle of the road 😂, to witnessing a jaw-dropping sunset, then hunting for our wild camp spot near Talsint… just to get politely kicked out by a police patrol and reroute to Bouanane for the night!

Waking up to a full-on hailstorm and pouring rain, then pushing through stunning scenery lined with palm trees, and finally rolling into Merzouga — pure magic!

Then meeting that awesome Dutch couple, teaming up to tackle the piste toward Zagora together, cooking dinner under a fiery sunset, and finally arriving in Zagora to give the car a much-needed interior mud-and-sand cleanup.

What a wild, unforgettable ride… and guess what? The adventure is nowhere near over! 🔥

Ready for the next chapter? 🚗✨

We covered 5,500km away since home, Abidjan is just a pit stop... or so we tell ourselves! 🫣🤗🤷‍♀️

Travel keeps teaching us humility and fills us with wonder. Leaving behind the bustling energy of Chefchaouen and Fes to the tranquil beauty of Taourdi, Bouarfa, and the pearl of the desert gem of Figuig felt like stepping into the calm, authentic heart of Morocco. The relaxed pace, the warm and boundless hospitality, and the peaceful atmosphere left us with unforgettable memories and a lasting sense of gratitude.

These journeys inspire us to keep coming back to this incredible land time and time again.

Yesterday felt like such a gentle gift after all the kilometeres. Not much driving, just enough to bring us to that breathtaking spot near Tossa de Mar. The road may have been a little nerve-wracking, but we made it—and wasn’t it worth every careful turn? Sitting there together in the warm sunshine, Campari orange in hand, with that stunning view stretching out in front of us… It sounds like one of those moments our heart quietly tucks away forever. Then sharing apero, cooking goulash side by side as the day softened into evening—what a beautiful, simple way to end such a full day. It really does sound remarkable.

This morning we were greeted the sunrise over breakfast, soaking in that quiet magic before setting off again. Now, we’re in Lloret de Mar and oh my gosh — we just had the BEST walk along the sand in straight-up shirt weather! ☀️ Warm sun, soft waves, barefoot in the sand… it felt like pure summer magic. And now? We’re celebrating with a cold drink in hand, toes still sandy, grinning like crazy. 🏖️🍹
