Economy car
An economy car works for main roads, couples and tighter budgets. It uses less fuel and is easy to drive.
It is not the best option with heavy luggage, several passengers or accommodation that requires an unpaved access road.
SUV or Dacia Duster
A SUV is often the most balanced choice for southeast Morocco. It offers a higher driving position, more room and better comfort on long distances.
For Merzouga, Erfoud, Rissani, Todgha and valleys, a Dacia Duster is a reassuring option for many tourists.
4x4 for the desert
A real 4x4 is useful for tracks, isolated access roads and some desert camps. It does not replace caution or local advice.
Without off-road experience, ask for a clear route and avoid unknown tracks.
Our recommendation
For most travelers, an SUV gives the best balance of safety, comfort and price. For remote camps or dune-area driving, ask for advice before booking.
