Morocco’s Atlantic coast · Seven stopovers · Opening in phases
Each stopover is one driving day from the last. You know in advance where you’ll sleep, what you’ll pay, and what you’ll find. It’s the one thing still missing for motorhomes in Morocco — and it’s what we’re building.
The idea
Over two hundred campsites and stopovers already line the coast. Yet the traveller arriving at dusk never knows whether there will be room, whether the water is drinkable, whether the socket works, or what it will cost. Our job is not to add one more address: it is to guarantee. A confirmed booking, a published price, and the same equipment at every stop — from the first to the seventh.
The route
Seven stopovers run down the Atlantic coast. String them together, skip some, or stay three months at one: it’s your trip. The distances shown are real road distances — a morning’s drive, not a rally stage.
01
45 km — from Tangier Med port
The first stop after landing. White-and-blue ramparts, walls painted by artists each summer, and a beach running south.
90 pitches planned
02
140 km — from the previous stop
The Merja Zerga lagoon, one of the country’s great bird reserves. Flamingos in winter, flat-bottomed boats, and a quiet fishing village.
110 pitches planned
03
175 km — from the previous stop
At the gates of Rabat without its traffic. The exotic gardens are next door, the capital twenty minutes away by tram from Salé.
120 pitches planned
04
225 km — from the previous stop
A lagoon closed off by a dune barrier, calm water, and the country’s best oysters. The beach is safe to swim even in winter.
100 pitches planned
05
180 km — from the previous stop
The ramparts, the blue boats, the steady wind that made the bay famous with kitesurfers. A listed medina on a human scale.
130 pitches planned
06
175 km — from the previous stop
The heart of Moroccan surfing, twenty kilometres from Agadir. Reliable waves from October to March, and the coves of Tamri to the north.
140 pitches planned
07
160 km — from the previous stop
The end of the coastal loop, before the road heads for the Sahara. Red cliffs, empty beaches, and Sidi Ifni nearby with its Art Deco architecture.
100 pitches planned

A MANARA stopover
The list below is not an aspiration: it is our internal specification, identical across all seven sites. Anything marked “second phase” opens after the first operating season.
Shade is not a luxury here: it means ten degrees less inside and far less air conditioning. Every pitch has its own.
A drinking-water tap and a socket on your own pitch. No queue at the shared point, no twenty-metre extension lead.
A dedicated tank for black water. Greywater flows to two planted basins that treat it for reuse in irrigation.
Someone is expecting you when you arrive. A small shop for what always runs out: bread, water, gas, coffee, cleaning supplies.
A central pool, shaded tables, and somewhere to sit with your neighbours. That’s where the good addresses get passed on.
Full coverage, not just near reception. For news, calls, and booking your next stop.
Some places can’t be reached in a motorhome. Taxi or minibus booked at reception, a driver we know, price agreed up front.
Washing machines and dryers. It’s the request that comes up most after three weeks on the road.
Second phase
Two ways to travel
Most travellers who winter in Morocco stay a long time in one place. Others want to watch the coast go by. Both are valid, and both have their own rate.

Driving in Morocco
Driving in Morocco is learned the way you learn to enter a harbour: a few clear rules, known in advance, and all goes well. Here are the ones that matter.
Checks are frequent and the signs are precise — often 60 km/h approaching a village, 40 outside a school. It is in any case the pace of a motorhome travelling well: you see the landscape, use less fuel, and arrive relaxed.
On approaching many towns, a checkpoint marks the entrance. The manoeuvre is simple and always the same: slow down, stop level with the officer, wait for the signal, move off when waved through. A wave of the hand is well received. Most of the time you are waved on without even coming to a full stop.
About 1,000 dirhams in small notes makes life simple: markets, bakeries, craftspeople, guarded car parks, tips, taxis. Many businesses do not take cards. Our sites do take cards on arrival, and online payment in advance.
On traffic fines: in Morocco a fine is settled on the spot and always comes with a receipt. Ask for it — it is your due, it is the normal procedure, and it protects everyone. If no receipt is issued, you may pay later at the relevant administration.
How long the vehicle may stay: a foreign-registered vehicle is admitted temporarily to Morocco for a limited period per calendar year, under the temporary admission customs regime. Check the period that applies to you with Moroccan customs before planning a long stay.
The first stopover is going through permitting. Leave us your address: we’ll tell you when booking opens, with the full price list and the dates of the first season.
