Category: 2011 Morocco

Travelogue of a tour through Morocco in January 2011. Due to a spontaneous idea the flight and a hostel for Marrakech were booked cheap in November. On the spot we should finally see where we are going. The destination should be cheap, warm and culturally diverse. Unfortunately, the tour had to take place alone, which has certain advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, one does not have to pay attention to the sensitivities of someone, on the other hand, one cannot share great experiences and impressions. The tour ran from Marrakech via Essaouira, Agadir, Inezgane, Tiznit, Sidi Ifni, Legzira, Tiznit, Tafraout, Tiznit, Taroudant, Ouarzazate, Zagora, Mhamid, Zagora, Tazarine, Merzouga, Errachida, Boumalne, Ourzazate back to Marrakech. Unfortunately I had to reconstruct the travelogue without any travel notes, because I lost them somehow. This means that many details are lost, such as times, places, costs and special events, as I had written down the notes very carefully every day for hours. I can only hope that they will reappear somewhere and that I will be able to rework the reports written from memory.
