Arrived back

Hello
The rookie arrived back from his first Morocco trip, first because for sure it was not the last one. The route was mainly as planned with a bit different split between the days. Enjoyed very much and again thanks for the community for the infos available here.
My RR is here :Newcomer to Morocco | Adventure Rider

I can just propose to all who was not there to visit Morocco.

I will contribute the accomondation topic of Morocco with my experiencies soon.

OK I see what you mean. I attached wrong picture for this day. The road from Ashilah towards Marrakesh was just highway and at Rabat I turned towards Marrakesh. Like this it was 6hours ride with minimal stop time just to fuel up. Sorry again the map not good there. That route was backwards.

No problem and thanks for that information.

I'm thinking of getting the early ferry to Tangier Med and then heading south quickly as like you I have a restricted timescale. And while I can see the area to the north of the Atlas mountains has its beauty, I'd like to see the dry arid part first on this trip. I don't mind cruising at 120 kph on the motorway if it gets me to where I want to be, and, at least on the motorways the use of the road will not be too different for a European, and so will also help the transition (I hope).

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.
