Trafilismy w http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-640386.html Ok Western Sahara what did we know about this Not much besides that it's a disputed territory. Morocco claims it while the local claim independence. It was quite 'peaceful' for quite some time but just when we started to plan our crossing through Western Sahara Moroccan security forces shot dead some local protestors... The cause of the shooting is still 'not' determined. Some say it was se http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-551167.html So Laayoune ended up being a great city at nightStreets were full of people.Food and Coffee were cheap 3 course meal was about dollars good coffee was 50 cents. Lots of fruit and amazingly colourful dressed people.And people didnt pester you trying to sell things for crazy prices.Sat on the bus today for almost 10 hours.Lots of checkpoints. I think 6 friendly police today many smiles and hel http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-414853.html A blistery wind front roars through the town and the sky is blotted out with clouds of orange and grey. One could call it a dust storm but any storm in the Sahara is worthy of that title. The wind merely lifts all the particulate that's always present into frenzy. Maybe you just don't see it until the storm.The landmass of Western Sahara is a region sparsely populated but largely contested. This http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-352864.html Dakhla doesnt appear in this platform big sourprise that is...well so the 24 hours bus was a piece of cake as expected. I think by now I can sleep in any position so a bus with air conditioning seemed pretty nice. just took my sheets and towell out and I was ready to roll. in the end it was more like 28 hours I think although it was partly my fault cause in every police control they checked http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-296611.html EssAgadirLaayouneDakhlaTom Griffith When is a country not a country According to Morocco and 25 other countries and the Arab League Western Sahara is not a real nation. It is simply the large sandy camelinfested southern provinces of Morocco. According to the Western Saharan government in exile 45 other countries and the African Union Western Sahara is the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Re http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-159820.html Om 1900u vertrekt de bus ik ben ruim op tijd drink een colaatje op een terasje pal voor de bus en om 1930 vertrekken we de bus zit niet vol gelukkig en ik kan schuin op twee plaatsen zitten er wordt regelmatig gestopt voor een pauze of om mensen in en uit te laten stappen het valt best mee zo het is bijna comfortabel.Als we weer een keertje stoppen rond 630 loop ik slaperig naar buiten vo http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-130101.html Leaving Tan Tan was a bit difficult I was torn such a scruffy little town but everyone we met had a heart of gold I really wanted to stay on but was also concerned that 'wasting' time in Morocco would leave less time to see MauritaniaGetting a SATAS bus to Dahkla for 320Dh was a good move. Clean heated and more spacious I knew this wasn't going to be the same journey from hell as we had had w http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-92363.html Not only is this a physical journey for me but also a journey in english semantics. Be indulgent have patience with my linguistic faults as I try to twitch and wrestle with english expressions that you'll find far from idiomaticly correct. It felt good to leave Chefchaouen at last next time I'll be back with the hordes of tourists in July or August. Not only did all the hotels get booked by po http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-38479.html Since I last wrote I went through Marrakesh Agadir Laayoune Dakhla and then across the border into Mauritania where I have so far been to Noadhibou and Nouakchott. Marrakesh was pretty and interesting but too touristic for me. Laayoune and Dakhla are in Western Sahara which is disputed and there seems to be some tension between the Moroccans who are sort of occupying it and the Saharans. T http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-11825.html I'm now in Dahkla in the Western Sahara. The journey took 22 hours. It might have been quicker if we hadn't been stopped at police check points and asked the same damn fool questions so many times. Governments always put up so many checkpoints when their authority in the area is in question. The other dead give away about the contested nature of this region was all the big White 4 wheel drive http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Western-Sahara/South/Dakhla/blog-2625.html
