Hi,
I'm planning a route through Atlas mountains into the desert closer to the Nigeria border in Morocco

Zagora-Ksiba-Agoult).
Bike's range will determing routes I can do and the ones I can't. Where I can find information regarding which cities, villages has gasoline on that part of Eastern Morocco? Thanks!

Your best bet is the Michelin '959' map, it is pretty reliable. Generally in Morocco, I have found you can get anywhere on the piste with a 250km range. On the road, more like 150.

Just got back from Marocco, 8300km all over the place. Can you mail me your route? Might be able to tell you where you'll find fuel.
Or just ask me about specific places. If I have been here and have any info I'll surely shared it with you.
I am working to get it all online.

Just don't expect to find unleaded everytime. But if you can ride 350km's you'll be ok to find unleaded most of the times.

About the maps. I had the michelin and the IGN map with me. I ended up using most of the time the IGN map. Seemed to be more realistic and scalewise more correct.

Feel free to mail me with any questions.
