It’s 2000 km of surfing through the fantastic dunes on the famous and renowned route of the DAKAR RALLY. The difference from professional drivers is that you’ll be with your family and friends in exclusive cars for your group and you’ll be staying in luxurious and authentic Moroccan palaces throughout the entire journey.
LIVE INTENSE AND ADRENALINE-PACKED DAYS FROM START TO FINISH IN THE 4X4 EXPEDITION AT THE MOROCCAN SAHARA DESERT
Despite the 4×4 expedition being a rustic event, here you have all the comfort of well-equipped cars and a unique journey with accommodations in 5-star hotels. True oases in the midst of the desert.
The expedition is carried out in Toyota 4×4 Land Cruiser Prado vehicles. The Toyota cars are known by the Berber people as ‘true desert dromedaries’ because they are the only ones designed and capable of conquering the hostile, rocky, and sandy dune terrain, which can easily reach up to 300 meters in height.
You don’t need the skills of a professional driver because it’s not a competition; here, you can enjoy all the landscapes, passing through more than 10 cities, immersing yourself in their culture, cuisine, and entertainment.
In addition to off-road activities, you can ride quads, camels, and even get to know the city of Marrakesh from above with a delightful hot air balloon ride.
Safety is guaranteed with mechanics to assist the 4×4 vehicles throughout the journey, and the expedition includes nights for you to experience sleeping in Berber tents.

WHO WE ARE
A Brazilian passionate about traveling and a Moroccan entrepreneur and tourism visionary who met in Morocco in 2012 and reunited in 2019 for a 4×4 expedition through the Sahara Desert. We saw the charm and magic of the journey and the energy that the Sahara Desert brings to people.
Hamid Yakoubi
Hamid is Moroccan, more precisely a Berber, born at the sands of the legendary Sahara Desert.
He has lived in Brazil for over 10 years and now resides in Morocco.
He doesn’t only speaks Portuguese fluently but also 7 other languages.
He has been working with tourism since the year 2000 and annually takes thousands of people to discover the realms of the 1001 nights, either in groups or individual packages, always providing the most personalized experience according to each traveler’s profile.
His first 4×4 expedition took place in the year 2000. Today he has more than 23 years of experience in the off-road 4×4 universe. He knows every corner of the country, and can cross the Sahara Desert with his eyes closed, a true experience for off-road enthusiasts.
Fernanda Abreu
I’m Brazilian living in Brazil. A true bon vivant, and absolutely passionate about traveling! On the Instagram account @fe_abreuzinha I document and share all the good experiences and memories.
In 2012, I was in Morocco for the first time. I spent 14 days getting to know this incredible country with all the travel arrangements provided by Hamid’s tourism company. The scenery is like something out of a movie, the people are vibrant, and the culture is captivating; it’s hard not to fall in love with it all.
In 2019, I returned for a more intense and adrenaline-packed adventure, the 4×4 expedition rally in the Sahara Desert. Driving a 4×4 across over 2000 km of dunes, lakes, riding camels, and a few other surprises left a profound impact on me. I felt such a strong connection to this place that I decided I need to share the same feeling with others. Everyone deserves to experience this!
Amidst ideas and suggestions along the route, we thought about combining Hamid’s experience of more than 20 years in Moroccan tourism with my passion for travel, and that’s how Morocco Off-Road was born. Inshallah!
