Distances and Travel Times
Distances in Morocco can feel longer than they look on a map.
Even relatively short routes may take more time due to:
• Mountain roads and winding landscapes
• Traffic when entering or leaving cities
• Slower driving through villages
• Natural pauses along the way
When we share driving times, they are realistic estimates, not promises. Part of the journey is adapting to the rhythm of the road.
