From Tangier to the Atlas Mountains, from plush landscapes to desert, from tiny communities to exotic Marrakech, the rally explores it all. Here David Lean filmed Lawrence of Arabia, and Indian Jones went in search of the Lost Ark and the Temple of Doom.

We explore the network of roads less travelled including the fabulous Todra Gorge. We find tracks in the desert, visit Souks and watch the sunsets, try a Tagine of lamb and eat at a desert camp – all bringing you an authentic experience of this fabulous country.

When Crosby, Stills & Nash sang about the Marrakech Express in 1966 the Citroen 2CV was already an iconic little car – especially with the hippies. Today the era of free love, flower power, the Beatles, Swinging London, Twiggy and Biba are largely behind us but the evergreen 2CV lives on and has become symbolic of the quirky French motoring of the period.

Its eccentric styling and ride, minimal interior and tin snail epithet have made it the personification of the long lost age of simplicity and innocence.

The hippies have wilted but the 2CV remains and we will celebrate its extraordinary appeal with a rally through the Morocco of the song – our very own Marrakech Express.

From the coast to the Atlas Mountains, from plush landscapes to desert, from tiny communities to exotic Marrakech, the rally explores it all. Here David Lean filmed Lawrence of Arabia, and Indian Jones went in search of the Lost Ark and the Temple of Doom. The Mummy and Gladiator were also block busters filmed in the deserts of Morocco.

We explore the network of roads less travelled including the fabulous Todra Gorge. We find tracks in the desert, visit Souks and watch the sunsets, try a Tagine of lamb and eat at a desert camp – all bringing you an authentic experience of this fabulous country.
