The Land of The Rip Off

Vacation from the Vacation
Today was a much-needed break from the hectic pace of the trip. We started with a well-appreciated sleep-in. In fact, I nearly slept in too late; I hit my alarm when it went off at the decadent hour of nine, and didn't open my eyes again until a quarter ...
Between a rock and a hard place
... but we'd like to pay the Moroccan fare please, not the tourist rate. I add that we have been travelling for nearly one month in Morocco and have taken share taxis many times...we know that 40 Dh is too much. OK, OK he says, please wait whilst I talk to ...

A cheval
Voici, un site géologique assez impressionnant: les gorges de Todra Imaginez vous, une palmeraie, autour d'une rivière enserrée entre 2 pans de pierre, que vous traversez a cheval. Et l'hôtel avec vu sur les ...
Not the Grand Canyon
... a bottle shop whose entrance was buried surreptitiously around the corner from a supermarket. Wine, beer and spirits are readily available in Morocco, but you need to be discreet about them; as a Muslim country, they're frowned upon to say the least, and ...
Todra Gorge
What I didn't write in my last update was that I am travelling with a wee special Moroccan boy now. Hassan, Berber nomad and owner of 4 camels! It was a bit of a relief to leave Merzouka. I wanted to spend more time with Hassan but was ready to ...
Market day
... the road was crumbling away and was probably not a good idea to drive along in darkness, so we turned around and camped just outside Tinerhir. The following morning we went to a huge open market in town and then reattempted the drive through the ...

Premier pas dans le Sahara
Salam! Lors de mon dernier message, j'étais dans le bus sur la route de rissani et des dunes de Merzouga... J'ai depuis fait mes premiers pas Sahariens, à dos de dromadaire, toujours en compagnie de mes 2 croates et de Nancy qui est rentrée au pays ...
Tinerhir - The Beat Of Your Drum
... it is just plain awkward. And intimidating. Not to mention nervewracking, frightening, yada yada...... We head through Ouarzazate towards Tinerhir, via the Dandes Valley and its Gorge. This is another of Dave's ideas. The road is yet again crazy ...
Wandering through a gorge and palmery
... . Three people from the group were heading to Fez/Meknes and asked to be dropped off at Rissani and I wanted to get dropped at Tinerhir so I could spend a day or two walking in the gorge and vegging out thinking about where to go before I run out of time ...
Sahara
This part of my adventure starts with a small four wheel drive session across the start of the Sahara Desert, to meet our Camels, our next mode of transport. My Camels name was Jimmy, and did well by me by not smelling, spitting or having fleas, I was ...

Day 9 - 31 December 2007
... local family she had befriended so I was left in much longed for peace. I walked down the hill into the centre of Tinerhir, which is a pretty unremarkable small town set in the Atlas Mountains. The centre is modern and the villages around the two ...
Day 8 - 30 December 2008
... a lot of travelling on the road, it was pleasurable. The contrasts in scenery was fascinating. I never realised the landscape of Morocco was so diverse. Also, we would spend this time moving around the coach, sitting next to different people and sharing ...
Valley of Casbahs & Tinerhir, Morocco, Oct 4, 2007
Once through Ziz Gorge and over a few spectacularly barren passes we entered the true desert environment and the land of the casbahs, spectacular fortified communal dwellings that I like to call early Berber condominiums. And not only does the ...

Todra Gorge, Morocco, October 4, 2007

Rock!
Attention, attention... It is now official. I have conquered the rockface at Todra Gorge. Forty-five metres of sheer cliff, with nothing but a harness, some rope, and a guy named Aziz standing between myself and certain death. It was great. ...
Rocks, cliffs and waddis
Arriving in the Todra Gorge at around 8.30pm, we found Kasbah Les Roches, our hotel for the night, without any difficulty. We couldn't miss it. The gorge was narrow, with the road running along one side and the river on the other. ...
A gorge or two
... ride about 9am on Wed and then we set off for Tinerhir and the Todra gorge. Not so far and nice scenery. Shopped at Tinerhir for food and then drove onto the entrance of the gorge - 15km_ and booked into a guest house where we bunked on the ...
Pit Stop
Hurray for Civilization
The Sahara is much more romantic in the abstract than in reality. Two nights in a tent would not have been bad, had it not been for a sand storm. Ab said it was only about 50% so we didn't have to go to the shelter, but after ...
