lots of scams reported buying at the border so I would buy one somewhere else.

INWI do an unlimited data plan for about 250dH per month available from their shop, but the network coverage isnt as good in remote areas as Maroc Telecom.

We just completed our two week trip of Morocco. Given the temperatures were above seasonal for our start we followed the route that the typical tour companies take.
Chefchaouen, Fes for two nights ,Azrou to see the monkeys. Errachidia and then Merzouga for the camel ride to the desert tent. Best sleep of our entire journey. Great experience.
Then Gorges Todra and Boumalne Dades. Then straight south over the Tizi n'Talougout pass which was exceptional. Overnight in Zagora where we both succumbed to gastrointestinal issues ☹️.
Next to Ait Benhaddou and Marrakesh. Then along the coast back to Spain.
Thanks to everyone who helped with our planning.

Thanks for coming back.

Did you enjoy it, what were the highlights?

We definitely enjoyed our trip.
Highlights

Desert tent experience
Fes guided tour
Tizi n'Talougout pass
Ait Benhaddou to Marrakech mountain pass.
Highest adventure was mistakenly booking a luxury riad in the middle of the Medina in Marrakech. Then following a ‘helper’ on a scooter through the crowded narrow streets of the Medina on a fully loaded two up adventure bike. It all worked out but it was a hang on moment.
Learning about the nomad Berber culture, endless sheep flocks. How they load cattle and hay on trucks.

We probably crossed our paths at some of those points.
Everything was perfect for us too. Cold at night and warm during the day.
Ahh, the 307 is in a good condition. some sections under construction, but easy to ride.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
