Drones and paper maps
 
Hi there

I just wanted to tell about the entry procedure to Morocco

Drones: are prohibited. When arriving at Tanger Med, motorcycles can proceed to the customs and immigration first. However, contrary to departure, they searched motorcycle baggage thorougly and found (and confiscated) plenty drones. They guy before us in line had it right in top of his baggage. In case you plan to bring one, probably the best is to strap it right to your body or at least unbox it and hide at different places.

Paper map: upon their question wether you have one - say no. They wanted to confiscate mine because the border to W Sahara was dotted and marked " Southern Provinces, contolled by Morocco". Seems like they copy China with its 9-dot-line.

Happy travels

Just leave the drone behind, over the last 18months 12 tourists have been caught, arrested and fined for illegal drone use. Maximum penalty is 10 years in prison.

The map thing isnt new although they seem to have clamped down again recently. Its illegal in Morocco to show the WS as separate.

For those with a satnav, a simple solution is to combine the maps into one single one and rename it 'Maroc'.
