Focus Sahara Adventure 2027

17 DAYS...4 COUNTRIES...2 CONTINENTS...1 EXTRAORINARY ADVENTURE

Join a fully supported 17-day driving adventure across the UK, France, Spain and Morocco, behind the wheel of an ordinary family hatchback that has been transformed into an extraordinary adventure vehicle.

This isn't a race. It isn't a test of speed. It's an unforgettable adventure for ordinary people who want to experience something extraordinary.

Cross the Atlas Mountains. Drive across ancient dried lake beds. Navigate remote desert tracks. Sleep beneath a sky filled with a billion stars and experience the warmth and hospitality of the Moroccan people.

Whether you prepare your own Focus or hire one of our professionally prepared desert-ready Focuses, you'll travel as part of a convoy, supported every mile from the UK to the Sahara Desert and back again.

BRING TOUR OWN DESERT-PREPARED FORD FOCUS

HIRE ONE OF OUR FULLY-EQUIPPED EXPEDITION FOCUSES

Unlike many adventure events where you're left to make your own way to the start, your adventure begins the moment our convoy leaves the UK.

Over the next 17 days you'll travel together through France, Spain and Morocco before reaching the Sahara Desert, with our experienced support team alongside you throughout the entire journey.

From the first ferry crossing to your return to the UK, you're never alone.

Adventure should be exciting-not stressful. Our experienced support team travels with the convoy every mile of the journey.

Leading the expedition is an experienced Expedition Leader in a fully equipped support vehicle, while an Adventure Mechanic follows at the rear, ensuring help is always close at hand should you need it. Supported by expedition leaders, mechanics, medics and recovery vehicles, you can concentrate on enjoying the adventure knowing experienced help is always close at hand.

Whether you're driving your own Focus or hiring one of ours, you'll receive exactly the same level of support throughout the expedition.

No previous overland expedition or desert driving experience is required. If you can drive a car and have a sense of adventure, you can complete this journey.

This isn't about driving fast. It's about going somewhere extraordinary in a car that nobody expects to see there.

The Focus Sahara Adventure is organised by Max Adventure Ltd, whose expedition team has spent more than 30 years leading challenging expeditions across some of the world's toughest environments.

From Arctic ice and Himalayan mountains to remote deserts and tropical jungles, we've spent decades helping people achieve extraordinary adventures safely.

Now we're bringing that same experience to the Focus Sahara Adventure. Our experience allows you to enjoy an incredible adventure with the reassurance that professional support is always nearby.

Applications for Focus Sahara Adventure 2027 close on 31 January 2027

On the 7th October 2027, you could be standing in the Sahara Desert beside the Ford Focus that brought you all the way from the UK.

The friendships you make, the places you'll see and the stories you'll return home with will stay with you long after the dust has been washed from the car.

The only question is... are you coming with us?
