Self driving is not for the faint hearted. During daylight hours self-drive is not too much of a problem but beware of speed traps. Radar is a new innovation in Morocco and the police make full use of it!

At night it all becomes quite different. Donkeys, goats, camels etc are one of the hazards as they tend to have little or no road sense and do not carry lights. Most bicycles, motorbikes and some cars are not lit up either, as one expects at home and another hazard is black robed pedestrians who walk close to the road edge.

Our advice is to spend a little more of your holiday budget and use the expertise of a local driver to whom these hazards are a part of life. We do not recommend self-drive unless you are an experienced driver able to cope with mountain roads and the unfamiliar. If you decide to self-drive you need to understand the implications of any accident – even if it is not your fault re administrative formalities and the delays that might occur depending on the gravity of the incident.

However many of us have self driven in the country and many of our customers do, so please do call and discuss this aspect with us.
