Been thinking about Morocco for a couple of years now. I'm a confident and experienced MCer, but would appreciate any insight (from anyone, not just female MCers) on a couple of months touring Morocco in a Trigano Tribute - just me and my dogs! A bit worried about how to enjoy the local culture and at the same time, not offend with my 'manlessness'. I've also heard that Moroccans don't think it terribly decent to keep dogs as treasured pets, never mind in the 'house'.
Don't fancy any organized group thing though would be happy for informal meetings with other MCers.
Much thanks and can't wait to hear what you have to say,
J

I would check with Defra first, guess you wouldnt go any where without them.

I know a lot of French people take their dogs to Morocco, no probs with a pet passport. Lord knows that the pedantry of the UK concerning pet dogs could cause problems - and you're absolutely correct; the dogs go where I go. One of the best reasons for owning a motorcaravan!

We've just booked with Desert Detours partly because it comes across as semi organised with room for freedom but help in a "strange land"*.
Your reservations about your not fitting in would be much less problematic if "hidden" in a loose group.
* like we Brits have any right to use such a phrase.
Hi! Was just on Desert Detours site. I think you're right about hiding in a crowd, but I just don't want to join in a 'convoy' type of thing. I have the benefit of speaking French and if I were a bloke, wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to go on my own. Hey, ho! Such a shame to be 'less free' because of gender. Sex change not an option!

Well I'm a bloke and with the cultural and legal differences of a different continent I'm happy to let DD help out.
You on the other hand, a stick on mustache and a salami and problem solved. Just practice the voice a bit.

Not implying you are wrong in your choice to go with a 'tour'. Regardless, I am choosing NOT to. An enormous number of people from all over the world feel very comfortable and unthreatened travelling in Morocco. The fact remains that it is inherently different for women in that particular culture, to travel alone. I'm really hoping to hear from people who may have had good, or bad, experiences. Thanks for your comments.
