Morocco south-desert - routeplan
Hello Morocco experts
My wife and I have several times with good experience of 4x4 desert driving on slopes in the south of Tunisia around Ksar Ghilane, Douz, Tozeur etc.
We have now planned a 9-10 days tour in Morocco in october, with the main theme: the South and Sahara desert, seen from Morocco ago.
We fly to Marrakech 15/10 and fly from Agadir 25/10 2010.
We hire a Suzuki Vitara 4x4, 2 door, or a Mitsubishi Pagero 4x4 in Marrakech. - Some experiences about what one of the two 4WD which is best?
Forecast is scheduled following route plan:
15/10: arrival Marrakech late afternoon.
16/10: Marrakech
17/10: Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Boumalne (296 KM - 3.59 h)
18/10: Boumalne - Tinejdad - Erfoud - Merzouga (247 KM -3.0 h)
19/10: Merzouga
20/10: Merzouga - Alnif - Njob - Agdz (288 KM 3.34 h)
21/10: Agdz - Zagora - M'hamid (185 KM -2.23 h)
22/10: M'Hamid - Foum-Zguid - Tata - Foum El Hassana (491 KM -6.19 h)
23/10: Foum El Hssana - Tafraoute - Agadir (438 km - 5.56 h)
24/10: Agadir
25.10: departure Agadir morning.
1) Is the above route plan realistic?
2) Are there any good suggestions for alternative routes.
3) Are there some that have some good / bad experiences with these alternative more "excotic" routes / pistes I have read in my book Morocco Overland:
- MS6 route from Merzouga / Taouz to Tagounite.
- Route MS8 from M'Hamid to Mrimina
- Route MA2 from Ait Herbil to Tafraoute
We're not sure how hard it is to run and find the correct way in these three pistes.
All good advice and tips are welcome.
