| Well we ( My wife and I ) will soon find out for ourselves as we are going for the first time in January 2009. All I have read here just gives me the encouragement to get on with it. I never have any problems going on our own we just love the adventure. |

. In fact the hassly places are he western tourist spots- so essouira- allthough lovely was a bit of a pain.

Isn't that funny, as I found Essouira the complete opposite. It was quite a revelation to see items in shops with prices against them, rather than the start at 800 dirhams and settle for 100 routine.

Health and van insurance is not a problem, but breakdown cover is the difficult one.

We changed our insurance company for this very reason. Now with Safeguard and have a 3 month green card free, plus European breakdown for up to 12 months and premium was very competitive. We met a number of people [Jan -April 08]who bought insurance at the border and were totally ripped off. Have a great time this was our first year but are going again next Jan, been bitten by the bug! |

Only 19 days left before we set off.... like others we have chosen to do our first trip with DD, we have travelled extensively but just wanted some security when we do the Atlas mountains and down to the edge of the Sahara..

Hi Patsy4. Haven't spent Xmas there and as it is a Muslim country I wouldnt expect any celebration unless your on a site popular with europeans eg Agadir, Marrakech etc. Depending on how much travelling you want to do dictates where you go. We travelled a lot and were there 3 months. Ferry tickets are readily available everywhere as you approach Algeciras. We were advised to go to Carlos

. Directions E15 (J)112 follow to Lidl and carrefour ticket office is in small side road behind Carrefour you can't miss it as there will be motorhomes parked all around. You can park here or Lidl car park the night before . We went via Ceuta 100 eu for an open return motorhome and 2 adults. They did the import document for the vehicle and gave us our forms for entering and leaving Morocco. It was great made things so much quicker and easier the other side. We would also advise when you approach the border to Morocco accept the offer of one of a local who will approach you they make things so much easier to get through we gladly paid him 5 eu though some people pay as little as 2 some dont bother but everyone we spoke to that hadn't spent a long wait at the border.
As for places I assume it will depend on the weather and what you are looking for we went Asilah, Larach, Sale, El Jahida, Essaouira to Agadir and stayed at the camp site about 20 kms north Atlantica Park, we stayed 5 days meeting up with a fantastic couple we met via MHF and gave us fantastic info, where to park up etc, which I will gladly pass on. Marrakech is a must but we also found a souk which was not a tourist trap. We went over many of the passes and were often up in the snow. The scenery is so varied and breathtaking. We did the Dades Gorge and Todra but found the Dades much more interesting. Facilities approx also covered Ta Ta, Taroudant [tanneries] Ouzoude fabulous waterfalls and cheeky Barbary apes which would eat out of your hand. Stayed at Le Tissa outside Ouarzazate on the way to Ait Ben Haddau where they filmed Lawrence of Arabia [well one of those films] Zagora we loved and over to Merzouga where you are right on the sand dunes the locals live in the very basic Pise [mud] huts!! yet have at least 2 internet facilities 5 Dirhams an hour [35p] Sidi Ifni where we also found an oasis where we stayed for 2 weeks with a couple of Brits living very basic [I now make bread!!] Meknes and went by train to Fez as we didn't want to pay their extortionate rates. We went to Meski but were very disappointed. Volubilis was worth the short stop and Chefchaouen was charming with the blue washed houses in the old town but be prepared to be approached by cannabis dealers if you venture out of the campsite at night
We met up with a Desert Detours group at Marrakech, I think this is ok for those who would not go otherwise personally we never felt any threat at all if anything, safer in Morocco than m | | | | | | | |
