Morocco - Alone in July?
 

I'm hoping to go to Morocco next July and ride the desert and some parts of the Atlas, for example Cirque de Jaffar and wondered if anyone had any tips or advice.
I particular I would like to know about security (Not terrorism related) issues or experiences you might have had.

I went last summer but on the asphalt with an CB 900 F Hornet. When I was there I realised the stuff I was most interested in was off the beaten track. I am a teacher and can only get away in the summer. I live in Spain and none of my friends have offroad bikes or can get the time off so I will go alone.

I have an XR650R with 24 litre tank and GPS. The actual riding and navigation doesn't concern me. I know what the temperature will be like and have 3L camelback so that doesn't worry me either.

Thanks in advance

Neil

I responded to your thread on ABR. M

July is the hottest month of the year. Be careful, but that you already knew. ;-)
I suggest finding a riding mate if you intend to do a lot of offroad. That shall remove a lot of stress, pain and risks. Something as stupid as getting stuck in sand can become a problem if you're alone.
