From 2005/03/02 to 2005/03/24
The tour in Morocco includes six phases of nine stages.
The border was crossed at the checkpoint of Guergarat. The control of police lasted several minutes; time necessary for the officer to create an identification number for this first entry. The customs officer as a chief, into civil, under outside gracious, put the good questions while the officer, in uniform, wrote out the information from the documents.
Due to the expanse of the Western Sahara, ex Spanish, two maps
are essential to show the followed route which besides does not have an
alternative : Only one coastal road. The map is not up
to date, because the road is asphalted from the border post.
It is obvious that the Moroccan government made important developments in
this area, pacification obliges, and the result is manifest. Moreover of the
efforts were made to attract tourism, hotel infrastructure, roads in good
condition, service stations in a number. And not of least, benevolence of
controls of police and gendarmerie. Sometimes from the control of
police, the officer requests a file of information while
excusing himself : "It is for statistics." Any traveller
must have several specimens of this abstract card taking again the marital
status, the name of the parents, the number of the passport, the
identification of the vehicle.
