An Anti-Atlas Route
Hi again!
After the very pleasant experience of riding south of Marrakesh last November, I am now toying with the idea of doing a similar trip, only the other way round.
Last year's trip went from MAR - OUZ - NEK - TIN and back.
I was thinking of heading first to the coast, Essaouira then go south to Sidi Ifni, and from there, back again through the Anti-Atlas maybe as far as Merzouga, before riding back to Marrakesh.
First things, first. Any places along the Essaouira - Sidi Ifni leg I'd should consider stopping for a night?
And then the hard part of the planning. How many days and what routes to consider from the coast to the dunes? I wasn't able to reach them last time round, so would like to have a night at the big Erg, if I can.
Any suggestiong would be great!

Take the motorway from Tan Med to El Jadida and then ride whole coast roads to Sidi Ifni.Then go inland from Tan Tan to Assa to Foum El Hassan to Erg Chegaga.

There are any number of great backroads heading east between the N10 and the N12 border highway.
As we all know, get off of these highways and things slow down but become much more interesting. So just route your device to follow these as it suits you.
Then, once you throw in some connecting pistes, options get exponential, even slower and at times even more interesting.
Don't know if that is your plan, but on a moto in southern Morocco, there is something to be said for sitting back and enjoying some deserted blacktop instead of concentrating on a piste. It'll be a great ride whichever way you do it.
