Mauritania back to Morocco

Hi all. Planning a trip down to Mauritania later this year, is it possable to return north back to Morocco lagally or is it still a midnight dash. If it is possable can someone tell me the procedure?
Many Thanks...

As I understand it they have now formalised the process and you cross over at the same point into the western sahara. Can do legitimately now.

Hi there D Halliday

When are you going? I intend going down to Mauri leaving London around 21 July. Someone else may join me. Might see you on the road...In the meantime check out my enquiries about this route over the last few weeks on sub-saharan Africa. That will help you.

Procedure?

Drive up, customs out of Mauritania, continue through minefield, customs into Morocco.

Just make sure you pass by the Mauritanian 'out' - wasn't obvious last year.

I'm sure that if you post here, somebody has the lat/long for it...

Sam.

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.
