Morocco...who's been, what's recommended / avoided?
By: inglishg Date: December 18, 2012, 7:30 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Next year, I'm planning on making the trek to Morocco and would
love some advice from those lucky people who have already made
the trek...
Is there anything I should be doing/not be doing? Where should I
go...not go?
I've previously "done" Croatia and Portugal, but this'll
potentially be the most adventurous.
I'd love to hear any recommendations. Thanks!

I've not been (yet) but have a copy of this book - not too late
for a Christmas pressy! www.morocco-overland.com

Going is highly recommended, coming back is optional.
Glen (S188), has been quite recently and can probalby remember
more details than I can, though he went to go look down holes in
the ground.
Drive south till you hit water then catch a ferry, Algericas -
Ceuta is a good bet, that spits you out into a spanish enclave
where the border crossing to M is supposededly a little less
traumatic.
After than it's up to you, what are you going for? Towns, souks
and culture or a spot of dune bashing? lots of the pistes are
being/have been tarred and Mauritania is really where the cool
kids head to these days, or it was 5 years ago.

I haven't travelled down there under my own steam, but since
July I have been working rotations on a small project down in
the South on the Morocco / Algeria border in Assa Zag province.
If you get down that far you will find mountains, desert,
beaches and more Series Land Rovers in a week than you'd expect
to see in 6 months in the UK.
Foum Zguid, on the edge of the mountains and Sahara is well
worth a visit - and a night in the Bab Rimal hotel up there is
well recieved after a day hammering the pistes. Like surfing?
Sidi Ifni on the coast south of Agadir.
If you need them, the following hotels are fine: Hotel Adil
Moussafir in Guelmim, Hotel Bab Rimal in Foum Zguid, Hotel La
Rennaisance in Tata, Sofitel Royal Bay in Agadir (if you want to
push the boat out).
AVOID AT ALL COSTS the Hotel Nidaros in Assa.

I've been, but on a plane rather than in a Leafer; went
redsocking in the Atlas Mountains. So I'm not qualified to
comment on the overland vehicle logistics side of it.
In the city (Marrakesh was my experience) is full of people who,
whilst generous at introduction, will want something in return
(usually a purchase of wares).
Out in the sticks, especially once you hit Braber Berber
country, you will meet nothing but condition-free generosity and
personal warmth, with stunning terrain lobbed in
Further North (as in France), you could benefit from equivalent
warmth whilst stage-posting at Drew's house equidistant between
Poitiers and Angouleme. Free camping and a cup of tea for
Land-Rover types.
