Updated on August 16, 2026 — Written by the Fun & Run team, validated by management. Distances and durations are indicative.
Casablanca → Chefchaouen
- Distance: about 330 km, mostly motorway (A1/A4 via Rabat, then the road into the Rif)
- Duration: 4 to 4.5 hours
- Road: motorway until the Rif foothills, then a well-maintained but winding mountain road — be careful at night
- Recommended vehicle: a compact is fine; an SUV adds comfort in the Rif bends
Casablanca → Merzouga (gateway to the desert)
- Distance: about 560–600 km depending on the route (via Beni Mellal, or via Fes/Midelt and the Ziz valley)
- Duration: 9–10 hours of driving — plan a stopover (Midelt, Errachidia or Fes)
- Road: paved all the way to Merzouga; the Erg Chebbi dunes are reachable without a 4x4
- Recommended vehicle: SUV recommended for comfort (Duster, C3 Aircross…); air conditioning is essential in summer
