Moroccan routes M5-M6
 

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.

Whoa, respect for cycling this route!
We have done it with motorcycles (BMW 1100gs & Transalp 600) and here is the movie. (also starring a bit of Slovenian, but you won't miss much :)

If anyone wants GPS tracks or points, PM!

Thanks Rafke! I always admired cyclists and thought that they are really doing the business. All the rest of us with engines must show respect!
