A group of cars driving through the desert.

Sahara

Our biggest and most adventurous trip takes you all the way down to the Sahara Desert in Morocco. Sounds straightforward, except the road to get there is a rocky one that crosses the Atlas Mountains on gravel roads. When you make it, you’ll be rewarded with the sight of sand dunes as far as the eye can see!

What's It All About?

Its our biggest adventure and the most challenging one.

It’s you and your car driving way out of your comfort zone to one of the most spectacular places on Earth, the Sahara Desert. On route to the Sahara desert you'll get to see parts of Morocco that people could only dream of seeing. There might not be roads to get to these places, but it's more than worth the drive and it's actually quite entertaining driving off road in a vehicles that really belong on roads!

What is the route?

The Rust 2 The Sahara route is probably not what your are expecting, in a good way though...

It involves 3 different ferry crossings and 14 nights accommodation (some of that is on the ferries) all included in the package. This gets you to the Sahara in good time whilst allowing 6 days travelling around Morocco. The best part being you won't have to spend endless days on the motorway to get there all thanks to the hours of planning and coordination that goes into the Rust 2 The Sahara route.
