Tafroute to Tata and/or Ait Herbil
 

Does anyone know if it is possible to do a fully paved route from Tafroute to Tata without going NE to Igherm?

The Reis Map 2019 shows a yellow road west from Tafroute to Souk Khemis on RN7 but i cannot easily see it on Google Earth!

Are the routes down to Ait Herbil fully paved now?

Lots of options. I did a great route upto Tafraoute from Bouizikarne via Ifrane Atlas Saghir last week on tiny country roads.

The RR107 is fully paved all the way to Icht (cold beers at Borj Biramane) the turn east on the Desert Highway to Tata.

The cross country piste was asphalted maybe six or seven years ago. You climb out of the Ameln Valley from Tafraoute on the RR105, then at the roundabout a few km further on take the right fork onto the RR106. After about 6km turn right at Azgour onto the new road. This joins the RR109 at Issafn and then on to Tata. I've done this route three times now.

The last time I did Ait Herbil to Tafraoute it was basically ride the river bed up a valley, but then it was closed with a massive landslide. I had to backtrack and ride up a parallel valley piste in the dark. I don't know that this route would ever get asphalted.

The route Tim mentions from RR106 to RR109 was paved when we passed in a camper in Feb. 2017.....

Cheers Gents,
Have done Tafroute to Ait Herbil a few times but the last section from Igmir to Ait Herbil and beyond has always been a washout problem in what is basically a huge wadi fan;hence my question.
I don't think my Qashqai would enjoy to much of it unless it had been fully regraded.
Thanks for the heads up on the Eastern route Tim,which I have not been along yet.

Igmir to Ait Herbil has been tarmac for a few years now. Although it was 2019 I last went down there
