Popular Self-drive Routes
Route no.5 - IMPERIAL CITIES BY TRAIN(self-drive holidays or private English-speaking chauffeur tours)
From our wealth of experience of working in, and travelling around, Morocco as well as putting together practical and interesting itineraries for our clients we would like to recommend the following journey for you to make the most of your time in this fascinating country. We also have great pleasure in offering you the opportunity to experience Morocco on any of these routes accompanied by one of our excellent team of English-speaking drivers as a private chauffeur and ad hoc guide. An interesting alternative is for one of our English-speaking National Guides to accompany you on a rail tour of Morocco - this is a unique service to Rediscover.

With our excellent prices for car rental, Morocco is opening up to some quite unique holiday experiences. Roads are pretty good in most places, even in the mountains and desert areas they are mostly asphalted. We do not recommend driving at night though as headlights can be optional and safety barriers on some mountain roads are non-existent. We have all driven extensively around Morocco and will be happy to share our experiences with you if you are at all unsure about self-drive or your chosen route.
NB: All of these itineraries and more can be taken with the services of one of our English-Speaking drivers (or a National Guide). They will drive any type of vehicle at a flat rate of approx. £60 per day per vehicle which includes your driver's food and lodging.
(Hotels are personal suggestions but there is usually a choice of styles and budget at each location)
