I would certainly recommend going further south than Cueta  .
Maybe you should rethink about going al the way down to the Mauritanian border (Nouadhibou is on the other side) and explore some of the 'couleur locale' in Morocco instead. Sniff around on this forum and be surprised what this country has got to offer (From Laayoune to the border is an awfull long road which even gets a bit boring sometimes, especially when you know you'll have to go back north the same route in a few days).
See the 'King city's', go across the Atlas, venture across the valley's and desert/oase-villages. Wonder and wander around some kasbah's. Maybe go adventures and follow some of the desert-pistes, like Chris Scott's proposed inituaries.
You can always go to Nouadhibou and the rest of Mauritania when you're 42 ;-) and the rest of Africa when you're 43.
regards and lots of fun

Luuk mentioned the German map including camp sites in Morocco, I know it, there are not all included. Just to round it up I will add that there is in Germany also a printed camping guide for Morocco. It has listed not only official campings, but also places, where you can stay free. And the Westsahara is in it. Nearly ALL Moroccan camp sites are listed and the information is very new.
The only problem will be: one must be able to read german.

hi Martin
in May traveled from Tanger to Nouadibhou. Last fuel station in Westerh Sahara is: N22.05512 W16.74606 also rooms.
and abt 150 km before: N23.20793 W16.09505
In my yamaha have 20 ltrs tank, and was enough from last station to Nouadibhou and back. But saw station in that city.
On south part of city is Abba camping, quite nice with double or three beds rooms, or places for tent, dont remember prices. Threr are no ATM's !! You can change money on the border, on capmping, everywhere.
My trip to Tanger was from Sete in France. Ferry strts in the evening and arrives in the morning after 40h trip. Price is resonable. For double cabin (I was alone, so second bed was empty), motorbike, paid 192 euros in one way. Meals included. Every formalities on ferry !!! Nothing to do in Tanger. Started from Warsaw, so saved in one way almost 2kkm, using ferry from Sete, not from Algeciras. Fell free to ask more infos by mail: sq5rk@o2.pl

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.
