Moroccan routes M5-M6 - Horizons Unlimited

**Rafke** · #1 3 Mar 2004

Already three months back from a six-week cycling holiday in southern Morocco, but just by now I managed to put things online. On our way, we did the routes M5 and M6 from Sahara Overland. The text is in dutch for now, but I put quite a lot of photographs on the site (especially from the M5 Merzouga-Tagounite), so maybe some of you have some interest. Go to http://users.pandora.be/django and click on "travels". If you want more info about the trip, you can mail me by clicking on "contact" on the site.
Chris, thanks a lot for your excellent route description and info, without that we would never manage it! So now you know that the M5 is possible with a bicycle (pushing required...) and without GPS. Also thanks to Ian Bradshaw and nasz for the tips!
Cheers,
Raf.
