What are the 'must sees' in Morocco?
 

Hi all

Hope you had a great Easterhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png!!

We are planning our return trip to Moroccohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png in Oct and would like to hear your recommended sights.

We plan to arrive in Ceuta and then head south to start our off-road adventure on the Cirque du Jaffar and Todra Gorge. We also plan to go to see Stairway to Heaven (nr Erfoud) and then head to Merzouga and then ride through the desert and across Lake Iriki. We stayed in a lodgehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png and slept on the roof last time and will probably do the same again.

We will be riding 3x 690R Enduros and 1x Ural combination/sidecar, which will carry our luggage, fuelhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png, tyres etc.

Thanks in advance for your help

that sounds like a fantastic trip Andy- Lots of vids & why an Ural ( I have a 52 model!)

Interesting places in the Anti Atlas
 

Marrakech is great, and the Tizi'n Test pass from Marrakech to Taroudant. (head for the hotel Taroudant if you're in for a beer)
If you want to hit the coast: Essaouira is beautiful.
Tafraoute and the blue rocks near there.
Gorge Ait Monsour near Tafraoute.
Aït Benhaddou near Ouarzazate and the piste de Telouet, nice loop for a day of good fun.
Gorge du Dades.
The piste from Nkob to Boumalne.
The piste from Mhamid to Foum Zguid.


What the heck, the hole Anti Atlas is absolutely gorgeous to tour. I'm sure you will enjoy. I made a roundtrip there in 2008 on a rented DRZ 400.
Some of the offroad stretches might be a bit difficult for a Ural with sidecar but I guess you know what you're doing.
