Well we do now!
Decided we are definitely returning to Morocco in January, although it might be last week in Jan as we intend to take our time getting down to Algeciras thus time.
We are going clockwise this time and heading for the desert first. We will then go across to Agadir and then work our way back up the coast.

If you approach Tafraoute either from the East or from Tiznit to the South West you won't have any frightening roads to drive over.Am I right in thinking that by travelling clockwise, this is the less frightening way to approach Tafraoute? I really want to go to Tafraoute, but I'm terrified of heights. Or, maybe, I just have to try to keep quiet and keep my eyes firmly shut? (I shalln't be driving, by the way.)
Thank you very much, Makems. That's great to know.If you approach Tafraoute either from the East or from Tiznit to the South West you won't have any frightening roads to drive over.

morocco costs
A few suggestions ,
Make sure your tyres are really good,
carry a spare wheel
i took my dog every year i went to morocco , she actually went before the pets passport scheme started but came back after it had started . used to have to keep them out for 6 months before coming back to uk. but there was no problems . mind best to have a blood test result as sometimes the spanish want to see one .Has any funsters that have been to Morocco taken their dog ? If so did they have any problems
Thanks, Steve. There's no way I'm going to miss Tafraoute. It's the place I'm most looking forward to - even if I have to keep my eyes tight shut until we get there!But bear in mind that Tafraoute sits in a basin between the mountains at 1100 meters so which ever way you approach you have to go over mountains so may have to shut your eyes for a little bit. I suffer from vertigo but am the driver so I am told I am not allowed to close my eyes. I have visited Tafraoute about seven times now and have also driven over the Atlas Mountains by the tricky route so it can't be that bad.
Just go for it Tafraoute is just beautiful. And the people are extra nice.
Steve

Anybody thinking of going do it it's not difficult just make your plans and head south we had a blast on the 2014 run and made some good friends

Do it life's too short

But from Tiznet there is an "interesting" gravel road for about 35km just before Tafraoute - there is an alternative longer route though. Haven't travelled it but suspect might be a bit mountainous!
No real problems at all coming from Igherm in the EastSo what's the road like if you approach from the East? Is there anything I should know?

The main cost is getting to Morocco on the diesel and camping France/Spain the 200 euro open return ferry to Morocco, once there you can live really economically, use the Guardian areas for camping, they are in all areas and average £1 a night, fruit veg and meat from the markets is excellent quality and very cheap. The costs add up with eating out and buying souvenir's that you really don't need. If you want any alcohol stock up in Spain before you go, along with Cheese and bacon tea and coffee, nearly every thing else is very reasonable, including the diesel half the price.
If you can do it, think every one should try it with a open mind, we have had a amazing time there, though I do think occasionally meeting up with other funsters does give it another plus. Make sure you have a fun sticker in the van as people really do stop and say hello and English really is a minoraty many more French there.
Thanks very much, Makems. I'll look up Malcolm Bolt's posts.No real problems at all coming from Igherm in the East
The only difficult road is the R105 from Agadir which I am told is a bit scary with big drops off the side of the road (but not so bad going back the other way towards Agadir as the steep drop is on the other side of the road).
There are a couple of posts on the 2014 thread regarding the R105, one I remember being from Malcolm Bolt.
