Has anyone been to Morocco on their own ie not an escorted tour?.
We fancy Morocco but my wife wonders why most threads seem to revolve around escorted tours. is there a problem going it alone?
We've been most places in western europe plus Greece, Croatia, Poland & czech republic. We don't expect equivalent facilities on site but is there something we're overlooking or ???
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Richard
After an escorted tour many go back and do it alone and while we were there met many touring alone on in small groups of two's.. or three's but many of these will stick to the costal region near the main roads. We went on a tour last Jan and stayed on for a couple of extra weeks by ourselves..
However, Morocco is a fairly large country and to see it properly means visiting remote areas and getting off the beaten track where in the event of a breakdown or accident it would be expensive to be recovered, this is the benefit of traveling with an experienced tour company like DD who have full backup, a 4 x 4 Unimog with spares and more importantly with good contacts in Morocco should they be unable to effect a roadside repair..
By all means go alone if you feel competent to effect minor repairs and be self reliant, there is no more inherent danger than touring the UK or France, personally I felt safer there than in Europe.
If you do decide on a solo trip, contact Ray (Desert Detours) who will be only to happy to advise on the practicalities..

Hi my best friend (Sonesta on here) went for approx 4 weeks in Nov of 2005 they had a fantastic time touring around on their own Detourer joined them for the first night and after that they simply drove off into the sunset LOL I am not sure if she did a blog or lenghty report on here and she is away this week, but if you PM her to draw her attention to this thread I am sure she will try to help you.
She nicknamed Morocco the land of the smiling places and they can't wait to go back.
*Edit I found one of her posts for you but you might find more by searching here it is.

Did you all read the blog done by a couple who were watching motorhomes go over on the ferry and on the spur of the moment towed a twin axle caravan around Morocco it was fascinating and it was the one thing that made my friend want to do their Morocco trip.
