Follow the Caravan
Honest guides and field notes from the old trade routes — deserts, souks and silk-road cities, travelled slowly and on a real budget.
Travel the old way
No sponsored detours, no rushed checklists. Just routes we have actually travelled, written up with the numbers and mistakes left in.
Honest guides
Every guide lists real costs, real transport times and the parts that were not worth it — so you can plan with numbers, not brochure promises.
Browse the guides →Slow routes
Itineraries built around trains, buses and shared taxis. The journey between the sights is half the story — we treat it that way.

Short dispatches written on the road — what changed, what surprised us, and what the guidebooks have not caught up with yet.
Morocco
The caravan starts where the old ones did. Souks and riads in Marrakech, mud-brick kasbahs over the Draa Valley, two High Atlas passes and finally the dunes of Erg Chebbi — travelled by bus, shared taxi and the occasional camel.

Why follow the caravan?
For centuries, caravans moved slowly because the road demanded it — and every stop mattered. We travel the same way: overland where possible, unhurried by design, curious about the places between the famous ones.
