A Morocco overland film: Will we survive the Sahara desert?

- If you are watching this video you know we survived, at least until editing and uploading. But let us tell you this, first year overlanders with basically no skills driving through colorful villages, sharp mountain egdes and loose sand dunes is guaranteed an adventure. Sit back and enjoy the show! THIS is the Rover without Lewie, destination: MOROCCO.
If you want to know why we didn’t take Lewie with us this time watch the first minute of the video, we’ll tell you and show you where he was.
We would like to thank @euro4x4parts for our partnership and the excellent service of sending our recovery gear the day before we left.
Next to that we also want to do a big shout out to our partners in crime (@lostwithlarry on instagram). Their story is worth following: a medical doctor and pediatric nurse overlanding from the Netherlands to Uganda. They are following their dream and starting a new life: working in a hospital in Uganda.
And to all other overlanders and adventurers we met along the way,
@76Overland for dune driving lessons and Mark from Amazigh Overland for organizing the pizza party:
THANK YOU
We have written multiple guides about overlanding and driving the Sahara Desert in Morocco:

I just come back from there last week. definitely there is something magic when u get stuck in the desert the panic can get u fast but if u calm down and do what need to be done u can get yourself unstuck not easily but surely and u will feel very proud and happy of ur achievement.
Marokko is prachtig. Het is jullie gegund

I’m so glad to have found this video and your channel! It’s so much fun to see two young people exploring the world together; it reminded me of my youth, seemed so long ago, with the love of my life (she is no longer with us) whom I miss very much! Thank you for the journey and the wonderful memories and music; I really like your minimalist approach to narration and the flow of your voice, so soothing young lady!

Breathtaking video editing, made my day and inspired me to one day travel aswell, thank you !

Wow this is one of the best Overlanding films I’ve ever watched. You must travel down to the east of Africa too through TZ, Malawi and Zim!
Thank you! That would definitely be a dream!
Very cool. Thanks for visiting our country. October is the best month to go. Also great choice of car😍
You have a beautiful country, the people are inspiring and welcoming 🇲🇦
Just came across this marvelous piece. This is beautiful. Thanks for showing the wonderful beauty.
No problem hope you enjoyed it 😍
Lovely to share the journey with you. Could have been yesterday. A timeless video thaat was most enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you David great to hear!
Just got back from the third time Morocco, it's so addicting. Doing it with a Land Rover makes it even more special 🙂 Everything you are telling in the voice-over is so true! Except for the sweetness of Moroccan tea, you can ask it with no, or less sugar and they will happily provide you!
Wow sounds awesome! True but often times even without the sugar we found it sweat sometimes. But it is lovely!
uniquely superior filming and audio, more like professional TV quality. Brilliant.
What that's a really nice compliment, thank you!
A visually stunning adventure. I loved the blue buildings too. Good stuff!!
Thank you, yes that’s a beautiful village 😍
As usual a superb realization, close to the cinema, congratulations! Your channel is in my top 5!
Thank you that is a great compliment ❤
An amazing captured adventure! What a great experience! So beautiful the Sahara Congrats on your engagement 💍🥂
We welcome you to our beautiful country⤵️
I had a good time, thank you for your efforts
It is a beautiful country ❤️🇲🇦
Guys... awesome video and drone footage giving an extra dimension to all those amazing landscapes that Marocco has... You guys drove some of the pistes I drove back in 2018 with my Defender 90... The engagement was also in the best place, i'd say, and was emotional, congratulations. That place where you stayed is pretty nice, you were driving close to Le Cathedrale, an epic place where some people practice skydiving or basejump, some moroccan friends told me that piste is not dust anymore, asphalt has covered most of it... I went back to Morocco on October 2019, but renting a car there, to make things easier... and the next time I want to drive my VW T3 Syncro Westfalia there and stay at least 1 month, from here, the Canaries, is a bit complicated, have to go to South Spain by ferry (2 days) and the cross the strait... Thanks for sharing and the effort making the video... is not easy. You have got another subscriber.😄😄👍
Wow so cool you also went with your 90! A lot of pistes are asphalt now, good thing for locals less fun for overlanders. Sounds like an awesome plan! Canary island should be beautiful ❤
hopefully they will re-open the ferry to morocco soon
I love 💕😘 Morocco from Germany 🥰
Beautiful country 🇲🇦❤️
Amazing film and shots by the drone, welcome any time again to our beloved Morocco.
Thank you, we definitely want to come back. The food, the people and the breathtaking scenery 🇲🇦❤️
Welcome to morroco 😍😍
Choukran 🥰
& gosh ... those drone images: INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPES! Hope we ver make it there with our Land Rover as well 😍
It is incredible, you guys will love it there! It will be a big adventure 🇲🇦
Donts make this mistake don’t s take your drone to Morocco it can get confiscated by border control 🇲🇦
Excellent video, we are already waiting for the next one!
Thank you! Next one will be Pyreneeën!
Nicely done guys… & let’s not forget the congratulations!
Haha thanks, sometimes we forget we got engaged because so much did happen 😅
The drone shots are really incredible!! Keep up the good work guys!! #Filmmaking life
Thank you, we hope to improve in making short films 😊
@@lewieandtherover I know you will, you're welcome to Kenya, epic journey here!!! Sceneries are crazy too...#Hakuna matata

Beautiful Morocco 😍
It is epic 🇲🇦🥰
Wow what an adventure....Great videography. Thanks for sharing
It definitely was an adventure, thanks for the compliment Vincent! ❤
The most wonderful and beautiful documentaries, commentary in a warm unassuming voice, professional photography, make us as if we were with you on the journey. I wish you more fun, travel and freedom🥰
Thank you Tariq, what a great compliment. Voice overs are not easy, good to hear you like them. We wish you all the best!
Honestly, just today I watched your channel, how I admired you as a harmonious, liberal couple. I believe that life is once. Beautiful life without freedom is incomplete. These trips complement the pleasure of feeling a taste of real life.
I wish you more fun, more free life.
May God protect you wherever you go.✌
Was away for a month and waited to watch it on my TV. Great content as always! Congrats on the engagement, you seen to be made to each other! Can´t wait to the next adventure, any tips of where you´re planning to go? Chreers!
Thank you so much!! 😍 we have so many destination on our wish list! Looking into Pyrenees and Balkan’s for next year 🤩
I would love you guys coming to India sometime and do some overlanding in the Himalayan region, great video 👌
That would be an awesome adventure 🥰
I loved it great honest video, thanks for sharing, and all the best too you both 👍😊.
Thank you ❤
Wow. What a great adventure. This was the first video of yours I have watched. I have definitely subscribed. Congratulations on your engagement!
Thank you! I hope you like our other videos 😊 thanks for subscribing!
Wow absolutely awesome film!! So glad our little Pizzas on the Piste gathering was part of your fantastic adventure in Morocco. Hope to see you both back for more in the future ❤❤ Safe Travels to you both.
Thank you! We met so many people on the pizza party. It was epic!
Congratulations, this looked like a great adventure. Many people spend enough for an overland world tour on diamonds and dresses at this stage. I hope you save your euros for the gems and jewels of the open road together. Happy trails to you both.
Thank you! 😊 yes, we rather spend our euros on memories ❤️
ان صح ما تقوله فتلك سرقة نعم
@@maroc2162 ❤️
you guys did great adventure.. showed beautiful places!! great work keep going
Thank you Krishna good to hear!
Amaziing! Can’t wait for your next videos ❤❤
Thank you 😊 next one will come next year 🙏🏻
love it, especially since you went off the beaten path... different than most videos/experiences by foreigners in Morocco. Visiting the country myself next month and was wondering whether you had any advice for drone usage in the country. I own a drone but based on what I have read online it is best if I leave it at home. Any advice you could provide regarding drones in Morocco would be greatly appreciated!
It’s such an epic country, you will have the best time. Taking your drone is illegal and you need special permission. they are still banned. If they see you with it you will get in trouble unless you have a special permit.
There is a problem with the drones it s not allowed yet

Marruecos siempre bella !!!!!!!!
It definitely is!
Stunning. I can quantify how envy I am!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Great Video, great Music and very pleasant voice. There’s so may channels but your channel stands out in a very nice and sympathetic way. Keep it up and safe travels 😊
What a great compliment ❤ we hope we can keep doing it 😊.
This is a very nice touring video. The views you guys have captured are gorgeous 😍
I'm from Sri Lanka, I invite you two to visit Sri Lanka as well. Our country has different geographical areas. I'm quite sure you guys will be able to create really beautiful content 😊
Thank you very much. We will definitely visit Sri Lanka one day. We heard it’s beautiful 😍
Неповторимая красота природами, спасибо 🙏 за туристическую экскурсию! 🇰🇿🤝🏴
No problem! Are you from Kazachstan?
Yes,🇰🇿
@@maratmanabekov9741 we would love to visit one day 😍
Most Welcome to Kazakhstan! 🇰🇿
Зимой на севере Казахстана сильные морозы, метель, гололёд, часто дороги непроходимые и закрываются. Я считаю, лучшие времена для автотуризма с июня по сентябрь. В Казахстане тоже очень много удивительных достопримечательностей. Поэтому, добро пожаловать в Казахстан! 🤝👍🇰🇿
What a wonderful movie about a very special trip. Safe travels always!
Thank you was really special ❤️🙏🏻
Wow ! What a trip. Congrats on the engagement, may there be thousands and thousands of overlanding kilometers more for you.
Thank you Henry! We hope so, we got some big plans hope they become reality :)
Lewie and the Rover one word Epic

Wow, what an incredible adventure! The landscapes of the Sahara in Morocco are truly breathtaking and you captured the essence of it all so beautifully in this video. The Land Rover was the perfect vehicle for this journey, providing both comfort and capability in the challenging desert terrain. I especially enjoyed the moments of exploration and discovery, like finding the hidden oasis and encountering the nomads. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with the world. I can't wait to plan my own adventure in the Sahara someday!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. You should go someday its beautiful!
Simply one word "Amazing".
