depends from how far down!!!
Mauritania - between Nouakchott and Nema is tarmac (bad but ok)
Insurance you buy in Nouakchott (AGF is there too)

Mali - again you buy insurance in the country (AGF bureaux)
If you are in Bamako then go to
AGF mali insurance- Avenue de la Nation, BP E 4447 Bamako, Mali tel 222 4165 or email agf.mali@agf-ml.com
(best write in French!)

Western Sahara - I just rode through (had my green card which covers me for Morocco but did not find anywhere to get insurance there- not exactly the most polulated area!)
In most cases, insurance, is seldom worht the paper it is printed upon- but it is mandatory nevertheless. You being the foreigner are most likely to be 'in the wrong' no matter who is... I know...Just don't hit anything!

Insurance in Morocco
Hi again,

When I posedthe question above, what it is like coming from the other way, I think I didn't make myself very clear, I think.
I meant to ask about buying my insurance papers for Morocco, but coming via Maurentania and the western Sahara. Since western Sahara is 'part of Morocco' (according to some..), does that mean that I formally enter Morocco when I enter the western Sahara? And does that mean that I buy an insurance for the 'two countries' at that stage?

Buy Insurance
In Mali for Mali
In Mauritania for Mauritania
If you have insurance from a European Insurer you should (but check with your insurer) be covered for Morocco third party only- you need ask for a Green Card. Technically, you don't physically need it, practically, I'd advise you have it.
If you don't have insurance to cover Morocco, you can buy it at the first opportunity (like Nouakchott - 5 minutes walk from Hotel Halina/ Sweedish Embassy/DHL office)
In the meantime- don't hit anything like people, goats, camels etc etc as you'll always be in the wrong-

just go to the nearest big town when you enter western sahara (Probably dahkla, depending on where you come from) and get it there. the police will tell you where the office is, it's near the mosque but a bit tricky to find, I had to ask several people as I worked my way there. the guy at the office is a real nice bloke. All the police checkpoints we went through before that had no worries about the insurance, they understand that you have to get somewhere to buy it first.

Does anybody have any idea how much 6 months worth of insurance is if you buy it from Morocco when you enter? I hope it's not 6 times 80 euro's ;-)

My UK insurer won't cover me and it will run out when I'm there anyway...

Thumbs up Maroc Insurance
Hi Matt
Insurance is easy to buy on the border; don't worry too much about finding where to buy it, it will probably find you. I entered Tangiers 14 months ago and 30 days bike insurance cost me about £60. It seems to be a lottery as to how much it costs, I'm not sure exactly what you're covered for but it will keep you legal.
I'm crossing into Ceuta next week; this trip I've arranged insurance through my UK broker "Devitt" underwritten by Norwich Union, £26 for 30 days.
Good luck and have fun
Kev
