The 5th edition of The Sun Trip (original format), in round trip between France and Morocco!
“The Sun Trip – Destination Sahara” It will be a loop of about 7000 km to go to the first sand dunes of the Sahara, in the south of Morocco. Between the checkpoints we will find the idea of a free route and the adventurers will not benefit from any assistance.
The route 2024
Here a first version of the map of this great adventure, whose departure and arrival will be planned in France (more details soon). The departure will take place in the early days of April 2024. For the first time in the history of the Sun Trip, the departure will be planned in April, in order to avoid the extreme summer temperatures known in the South of Morocco.
Some checkpoints have already been announced: the Pierre Saint Martin pass in the Pyrenees, the Cabo Espichel lighthouse (south of Lisbon), Chefchaouen / Rabat, the Tizi n’Test pass, Laâyoune (for racers) / Sidi Ifni (for travelers) and the Dades Valley for Morocco, and finaly Molina de Aragon in central Spain on the way back.
Other checkpoints may be announced in the coming months. Authorised ferry connections will also be specified.
