Present situation in Mori

Hi,
Does anybody know if Mori is safe now? I'm in Morocco and thinking about short jump into Mori for a week. I trawel with wife and small son.
Second question is : is it necessary to have the yellow fever vaccination and to take the pils against malaria if we go only upto Atar and around? I'll be grateful for quick answer

br,
Piotr

It depends what you plan to do and what you personally define as 'safe'. As always it is prudent to take precautions, continually assess and be discrete.

My biggest worry, if traveling with a child, would be that it is a long – and at this time of year, hot journey from S. Maroc. There is a lot of transit and a slow border crossing.

To answer your second question, Atar is out of the malarial zone and there is no need for a yellow fever vaccination.

Hi Piotr,
Was there this summer and it was for us ok whitout any vacination. They didn´t require any to enter the country. In general I don´t know the safety situation. In Nouadbidou we ran into a Sweed who lives there since early nintees and according to him it had been several "honor killings" in that town this year.

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.
