anti atlas
HI all, after a great tip true the atlas we looking for a new trip true the anti atlas. We would like too fly back to Marrakesh and going for a rental bike to drive for a week in the anti atlas. We are taking the morocco overland book for the trails but we don't know what the must sees are. We looking for a mix off roads and offroads but nothing too hard. La plage blanche for example is something that's look amazing. Any specialists here that could help us out what the must see and must do's are. Many thanks in advanced.
Gr Leon

Around the Anti Atlas it’s more the landscapes than the places. But visit the Agadir at Amtoudi and then stop at Borj Biramane for the night, you’ll need a cold after the hike. There are other Agadirs in the area to visit as well.

Plage Blanche is amazing but pay attention to the tides, although on a bike you have more options than a 4x4 for an escape if necessary.

Plage
Hello

I would like to go to "Plage Blanche" in a 4x4 during Easter, this year it falls in April

As it is better to do it from south to north or from north to south,

I think from south to north, since you have to go down and the exit is easier from the north

Schedule? When is low tide or where can I look for them to find out?

How long can it take to cross it if there is no incident

Thanks

Makes little difference which direction you do it. If you cant get up the slope at the south end just follow the river valley for an easy exit.

Window for driving it is 2 hours either side of low water and takes about an hour if you don't have any problems. Best not to do it on your own though in case there are any problems along the way. A french vehicle was stuck there for 8 days a few weeks ago after getting stuck, an excavator was needed to get it out.

I might be in the area beginning of April but wont know until closer to the time.

PLage Blanche
Thanks

In principle, according to the travel plan I will be there on April 13. The idea was to spend the night in Tarfaya, and do it when the tide left us. We could also spend the night at Fort Bou Jerif and do it early that morning and then go down to Tarfaya, according to our route it would be better but I don't see clearly the exit on the south side of Plage Blanche.

As I know that I will not find water through the river bed, I do not see any dirt road / track in Google Earth

do you have any tracks?
