Which maps are best for Morocco? Many years ago when I travelled across Africa, the Michelin maps were the best. I think there were three maps that covered the whole continent, so I guess only the north west one would be required. John |

Michelin do maps that go into a lot more detail than just "a third of the continent"... I seem to recall we used the Moroccan Michelin, and it was excellent. Once we got to Mauritania, though, the choice was considerably narrower - and the quality a lot poorer. For maps, if these guys don't do it, it doesn't exist. http://www.stanfords.co.uk/ |

I know, the newbie comes in and says "but...". But have you found Horizons Unlimited? One of the best overlanding websites, not too big with a hugely useful forum with plenty of people who are happy to give advice (and some even love deuches). Straight off the bat though, in case anyone's thinking Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco still. You can't get across the as Algeria & Morocco are I thik technically still at war and the border is closed. the only way past is to drop all the way down to Mali, and bypass the border area which is very militarised. PS Viking, we're almost neighbours. |

We had a french visitor this morning talking Raids. Gwenael Jounno did Raid Marocco 2006 and is going again this year in May. He gave us many useful informations, too many to mention here but look around here. http://norev.free.fr/spip.php?rubrique3 http://www.2cv86.fr/ |

Sounds very appealing to me thanks. I'm not keen on cities unless very special. I prefer the outback, dry and hot. |

There's really not a lot to see in Western Sahara specifically. Sand. More sand. A very long, straight, smooth road. Just the one road, but it's a very good one. And I'll die a happy man if I never, ever go back to Tan Tan. Seriously. It's a total and utter dump. I think I can still taste the goat-gristle-and-tubes "tagine" now. Unfortunately. And they only tried to charge us £10 for it and another quid for a warm 7-up... |

Tan Tan is for seeing remotenes and futhermore just a stop on the way to off roading and camping on the Plage Blanche. We are going for driving in a lot off sand, but we dont need to go down into Western Sahara for doing that and then it becomes off no specially interrest to go there, since we are on an roundtrip and only have 19 days. But we have to decide among the off road drive along the Atlantic or seing more of the mountains. I hardly can´t see we can do both and still have time to "be on vacation". |
