Lorena from Morón and her French partner Rei left their conventional life to travel the world in a Volkswagen T4 with their dog Sol. After sailing across South America, they are now documenting their journey through Morocco. They fund their travels through remote work, including web design and content creation.

A meeting of the regional committee for the national camping program was held in Smara on June 10, 2026. A new camping and summer resort center was announced in the commune of Sidi Ahmed Laaroussi. The meeting focused on evaluating the past season and preparing for the 2026 summer season.

Yasin Buras drove 30,000 km in a 2013 Hymer Starline motorhome across Africa over 160 days. The route included Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, and Senegal. He faced poor roads, sandstorms, and challenging border crossings but noted feeling safer in Africa than in Europe.

On May 19 at 7:30 PM, the Zénith Promutuel Assurance de Saint-Eustache (Canada) will host the 6th cinema conference of the Grand Explorateurs season, focusing on a camper van journey through Morocco.

The event combines a documentary screening with a live discussion.

A British couple who sold their belongings to travel the world in a camper van named Morocco as their top destination. Kath Cross (49) and Stu Hall (47) left their rented home in Cardiff, sold items on Facebook Marketplace, and bought a 7.5-meter Mercedes Sprinter. They traveled through Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Kosovo, and Montenegro, but Morocco—including the Sahara desert and snowy Atlas Mountains—stood out as their favorite.
