French, indeed I speak very good french but actually have still to find many here who can get past the basics, not a problem just a remark.
I got ripped off in fez someone broke into my room and skimmed off a bit if cash. I told the owner but did not go to the police, did not fancy the possibility of rough justice. Just a glitch in my trip. I arrived in Erfoud yesterday and today had a great spin on and off road. Tomorrow I head off to todra gorge and boumalne Dada. I'm pretty much following Tim's route, actually so far I am. |

Just some clips from today _____________________________________ EDIT by Tim Cullis, I edited your video link and it now plays. What you had before was {YOUTUBE}{url}https://youtu.be/Q6H8CLFi0Uc?si=8RNDnCjsok7Prg24{/url}{/YOUTUBE} (except I changed '[' to '{' so you can see the code). All you should have between the opening and closing Youtube bits is the actual video reference which in your case is Q6H8CLFi0Uc So what I have changed it to above is {YOUTUBE}Q6H8CLFi0Uc{/YOUTUBE} Hope this makes sense |
I am two weeks in
Chefchoen 2 days Fez 2 Days Erfoud 2 Days Boumalne Dades 4 Days Tata 1 Day Tafraoute 3 Days Well now, I am pondering, either head down to Tan Tan and maybe a quick jaunt into Western Sahara. Or, more likely, tomorrow Tiz n Test pass, staying in the countryside, then some r and r at Essaouira. Before deciding on the return leg, possibly back through the Atlas Any ideas, recommendations? |
If i was you i would give Tan Tan a miss, there is nothing there. and go to Sidi Ifini. The most relaxed place in maroc ! stop at Hotel Bel view ( by park at the top) you can get bear at the hotel and eat the best fish at the market .
I stopped here for 8 days doing nothing , highly recomended ! Kbeer |
You could head for Sidi Ifni first, on the Atlantic coast due west of Tafraoute. This was a Spanish possession until 1969 and there's a lot of lovely Art Deco buildings. My favourite hotel there is Suerte Loca (crazy luck), in which rooms are from about 200dh.
On one trip I intended to stop two nights in Suerte Loca and ended up spending eleven! Some photos. Down the steps from Suerte Loca to the sea level is a beach bar in the grounds of the Hôtel Ait Baamrane where I like to watch the sun go down whilst sipping a beer. EDIT: Ha! So two of us were typing at the same time, with the same recommendation! |
Off to maroc on tuesday for my 56th time, but backpacking this time and i will be going to the best place ! Sidi Ifini for a "few " days

With the weather forecasted to get cold next week I would take that into consideration when planning.
Some of Moroccos best desert tracks are in the triangle from Tantan, Smara and Assa. I’m heading across that way over the next 3 days |
A lot depends (as always) on your interests and abilities, but "head down to Tan Tan and maybe a quick jaunt into Western Sahara" suggests a couple of long days without much in the way of scenery or cultural interest in order to tag the Western Sahara. With a limited amount of time in Morocco, I'd skip it unless you have a compelling reason you're not revealing [edit to add: like for example solo exploration of tracks out on the desert, per The Warden]. The haul from Tan Tan Plage to Tarfaya and from Tarfaya to Laayoune is hasn't as much to offer as elsewhere.
IMHO, of course. |

Definite dip in the weather coming, yesterday in the Spanish mountains it was 24ºC with hot sun, next week just 14ºC, but still with sun. Morocco is predicting a similar dip but from a higher starting point, with forecasts for next week of Rabat 20ºC, Marrakech 22ºC, Sidi Ifni 19ºC. Seeing as London might be as low as 9ºC I'm quite content. :Beach: |
Ooh I stopped looking as there seemed no interest. Anyway all good I am still here. Today in imilchil and it is fecking chilly indeed. I am heading north and heading home. I guess a few days left. Had a bit of bother off road alone yesterday, but I survived. The cb500x has been great, and happy enough off road too, until I dropped it thrice....

Made it to Fez after getting lost off road, happily a Berber family set me right, great experience.
I guess I might go to chefchoen then the boat. Any other ideas, is Tangier worth a night? |
I said it was getting cold in the mountains!
If you've done Chef then Tangier is well worth a visit and a little closer to the port for onwards travel |
Tangier is definitely worth a night.try and stay in the old town and enjoy the street food and the old medina :scooter:
