Aziza Bzazou, a Franco-Moroccan chef and single mother of three, has launched Rihla Raid & Saveurs, a unique off-road culinary journey through Morocco. Bzazou, who will soon be 55 years old, combined her passions for Moroccan cuisine and off-road driving after being declared unfit for work following an injury. The initiative aims to offer travelers an alternative way to experience Morocco, focusing on its gastronomy and landscapes. The first edition of Rihla Raid & Saveurs begins on October 20 with participants arriving in Marrakech on October 19. The journey includes traversing the High Atlas, passing through the Ounila Valley and Ait Ben Haddou, continuing to the Rose Valley, and moving through the Anti-Atlas, the Drâa Valley, and Zagora. The route includes a night in a luxury bivouac at Chegaga in the Sahara. The journey concludes with a return to Marrakech via Taroudant on October 24, with the final evening dedicated to a Franco-Moroccan fusion dinner before participants depart on October 25. The experience is designed for small groups and can be undertaken either by participants driving their own 4x4 or by choosing a driver-guide package. The journey emphasizes varied landscapes and stops that allow time for exploration and interaction with locals. Gastronomy is a central element of the journey. Bzazou aims to integrate local specialties and cooking workshops into the itinerary, allowing participants to understand Moroccan culinary traditions. The journey will culminate in a fusion dinner prepared by Bzazou, blending French and Moroccan influences. Bzazou's approach to travel is influenced by her participation in off-road rallies such as the Rallye des Gazelles, the Roses des Sables Trophy, and several rounds of the French Endurance Off-Road Championship. These experiences taught her the importance of remaining calm in unexpected situations and trusting a team, which she aims to incorporate into Rihla Raid & Saveurs. The initiative also emphasizes responsible tourism, with a focus on small group sizes, local partnerships, and awareness of preserving landscapes. Bzazou plans to incorporate gestures such as using thermos to reduce waste and is considering future projects related to reforestation and solidarity in Morocco. Bzazou's long-term ambitions include expanding Rihla Raid & Saveurs with different circuits throughout Morocco and reaching new audiences, including company committees. She aims to grow the project with local partners while maintaining its core identity of small groups, accessible adventure, and authentic culinary experiences.
