I don't think you will meet many groups going that way at the present time.

I think the most important thing you need apart from ticket will be the knowledge of how to stay cool ! July-Aug get VERY SERIOUSLY hot.

I wouldn't ride Morocco, especially the South in July or August, unless you have a very good resistance to heat. I had 40°+ in April and it was tough... Daily water drinking was around 8 litres. And water is a matter of life and death. So get plenty.

Seems like I will not drive there, as there are no people contacting me, but that's ok. I probably asked at the wrong time of the year

8 Liters a day is plenty! I carry only about 3 Liters with me in Europe.

the weather is more hot here in Malaga right now, than in Morocco.

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.
