You want to visit the Morocco in motorhome and look for a good route for road trip that goes around Morocco ? Here is the circuit of my trip which allowed me to discover all the facets of Morocco by following a loop route from Tangier.

I tell you all about the organization of this 1 month road trip in Morocco and communicate to you my detailed itinerary as well as the google map that you can follow in GPS mode.

Morocco in a motorhome - When to go?

The best times to visit Morocco by motorhome are the spring et autumn. Indeed, it is the two seasons that allow you to enjoy a dry climate and avoid excessively hot temperatures.

However, even in winter, temperatures are mild especially along the coast. This is why many European retirees go to the Moroccan coast to spend the whole winter there.

Morocco in motorhome - How long ?

If you just want to discover the essentials of Morocco, 15 days tour is quite achievable. But if you want to discover the most beautiful sites in Morocco, enjoy its beautiful beaches, stroll in its souks, go on beautiful hikes in the Atlas…. in short to travel in vacation mode, I recommend that you allow 1 month to do the circuit detailed below.

This itinerary is therefore a base that you can adapt to the number of days you have available. It's a circuit 1 months but completely customizable by eliminating a few steps for a 15 or 20 day road trip.

Morocco in a motorhome - Where to rent a vehicle?

For those who are not equipped with a van or a camper van, they can rent one to make this road trip in Morocco. Using Yescapa, they can rent a van or a motorhome from a private individual. Transactions are well supervised and insured (payment on the site via a secure area).

Morocco by motorhome - Ferry crossing

The majority of retired campers who go to Morocco prefer to cross all of Spain in a motorhome to take the ferry from there. They must go to Algeciras to board the ferry that goes to Ceuta. Leaving from Algeciras, it is true that the crossing is faster and cheaper than leaving from France.

Indeed, it is quite possible to take the ferry in France (from Sète or Marseille) to go directly to Morocco. However, the crossing is a little longer and necessarily a little more expensive.

However, as I'm not retired, I didn't want to waste too much time traveling through all of Spain. I chose to leave from Sète. And, to have peace of mind, I preferred to book my crossing of the Morocco by ferry on the Internet.

Morocco by van - Formalities

To go to Morocco by van or motorhome, you will need to plan passports for all passengers and short validity visa (max. 3 months). The latter wonders at customs when you will be at the Moroccan border.

The French driving license (European Union model) is accepted everywhere in Morocco. So you don't need the international license.

You will of course have to take all the documents of the van or the camper van (gray card, insurance) as well as the identity cards.

Regarding the health formalities relating to COVID from France, you should consult the latest updates on: Entry formalities in Morocco

Regarding the famous cards that all travelers had to give to the police during police checks, they have not been relevant for more than a year.
