The African stage of Jimmy Pelletier’s World Tour in Morocco will be a captivating exploration of the country’s spectacular landscapes and rich culture. Spanning 2,115 km, this route will begin and end in Casablanca, passing through Atlantic coasts, majestic mountains, and historic cities steeped in heritage.

The journey starts in Casablanca, where Jimmy will set out along the Atlantic coast to Safi, renowned for its pottery craftsmanship. From Safi, he will continue to Agadir, a must-visit destination known for its golden beaches and relaxed atmosphere.

After Agadir, Jimmy will head toward Marrakech, the famous “Pearl of the South.” This iconic city, nestled at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, will offer a mix of physical challenges and cultural discoveries, including vibrant souks, unique architecture, and landmarks such as the Koutoubia Mosque and the Majorelle Gardens.

From Marrakech, the route continues to Settat and then to Meknes, an imperial city surrounded by historic walls and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Jimmy will then make his way to Tangier, located at the northern tip of Morocco. This cosmopolitan city, a crossroads between Europe and Africa, overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar and features breathtaking coastal landscapes.

From Tangier, Jimmy will head south to Rabat, Morocco’s capital, where he will experience a city blending tradition and modernity, with highlights like the historic walls, the Kasbah of the Udayas, and elegant avenues. Finally, the stage concludes back in Casablanca, after crossing diverse landscapes and overcoming significant challenges.
