Journey TIMES AND THE SCALE OF MOROCCO

Morocco is roughly twice the size of the UK, and slightly larger than the state of California. The peaks of the High Atlas Mountains are similar in height to those in the Rocky Mountains and roughly three times the height of mountains in the UK.

Most of the major cities are now linked by motorways, some of which are still under construction; roads between the larger towns are generally good; however, in the desert regions roads are inferior and many roads in the mountains can be tortuous therefore Distances and journey times can be deceptive. For example, the big sand dunes in the Sahara are at least 8 hours' drive from Marrakech or Fez.
