The bus ride from El Hoceima to Nador took around three hours. We had expected to go along the coast on the N16 as the guide books say that it is a picturesque route. No doubt if we had travelled by taxi, we would have seen that. Instead we took the scenic route through the mountains on roads that are mostly under construction, although some have not yet been built! It was a beautiful journey but at times a little too breathtaking if you get my gist!! Nador itself will no doubt polarise opinion. Visiting off season like we did, it's a bit desolate in places, but there is a certain charm to the place. In the summer months there are a lot of flights to and from Europe so no doubt the place gets very ... read more

The Sahara desert. The one and only. We treked out in to the desert the previous night on camels staring up into the star lit skys. Finished the night with a tashein and of course a Bedwin style music recitalthing. I woke up the next morning freezing as i was outside and the nigh had been harsh and cold. The sleeping bags wer soaked and well and truly covered in sand. I looked up at the sky. It was a pinky orange as if waiting for the sun to aloow its shallow blue to emerge. It was a quick start as i realised the rest of the group were planning to climb a sand dune to watch the sun come up. I clambered up of course not wanting to miss a thing. I have to say ... read more
