What are the most spectacular roads in Morocco?

Located in the northern part of Africa, on the edge of continental Europe, Morocco covers an area of 710,850 square kilometers. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the geography of the country includes coastal plains, high mountains and desert.

Known for its rich cultural heritage, the terrain of Morocco is largely mountainous and it is home to some of the most spectacular drives in the world, with roads climbing to high mountain peaks, crossing challenging deserts and running through huge canyons. The most remarkable drives are Gorges du Dades, where you will be driving just 12 inches from the side of the mountain, located in the Drâa-Tafilalet Region and featured in many commercial spots. The scary road to Tizi n'Test in the High Atlas, a mountain pass at 2,101m (6,893ft) above sea level or the road with dramatic views to Cirque de Jaffar, a natural amphitheatre in the High Atlas. And for those looking for a cinema experience, you’ll feel like James Bond on the road to Gara de Medouar.
