Highs & Lows In The Western Sahara // Van Life Morocco [S04E03]

[@KiteVanMan]

For all the “Western Sahara is Morocco” comments: My source for geographical information is Google (in every country I visit), which names this place the Western Sahara. Now I know there are different opinions on this so rather than joining a side which I don’t believe I have the right or knowledge to do so, I have put Western Sahara (as this is factually the west part of the Sahara) and also included Morocco in the titile. I am remaining neutral. As for the check points, yeah I get that they are for security, but if they communicated with one another they would save their own time and others by not unnecessarily repeating the same process on the same vehicle and passengers 3 times an hour. Also increasing security by doing so. Hope this makes sense as I am not here to join a political debate, I am here to explore your beautiful country and share my experiences with the world. Thanks

[@imax2000]

Thanks for your point, but It s Moroccan Sahara this is how we call it, not a western one because there is no eastern or middle one. In Tangier it was told to your friend to remove the border on their Van, So you knew there is nothing called Western Sahara when you get in to this country. Call it South of Morocco, Moroccan Sahara, you cant just call Scotland northern England or Walse wetsern England will you? Thanks for your attention.

[@KiteVanMan]

If I call it Moroccan Sahara then I will have the other side of the argument telling me I am wrong. This is why I just go off what is on Google. You could say Wales is west Great Britain or west UK.

[@KiteVanMan]

by removing a border doesn’t necessarily remove the name of a place. For all I know it could still be called WS, but belongs to Morocco.

You are driving along Morocco dude. Have you noticed a country called western Saraha? Or a flag rather than Moroccan one? Or autorities rather than Moroccan one? You should somehow show some respect to the land and its people and Morocco which build all these facilities you used to reach your destination in the middle of nowhere. There more checkpoints because some prorebels trying to get in and make problems.

@@imax2000 You are such a cry baby, he does not mean that lol. He just being literal with it. It's obviously located on the western part thus the western terminology.

[@imax2000]

@@Mermaidjm You are far away from here so let s not judge things as you like. I know he did not mean to call it a nation but just describing it but here when you tell someone Western sahara so that means you dont call it a Moroccan land. As I said there isnt an eastern Sahara so we could call this a western one. If he would say WS to anyone in Morocco he would put himself in trouble. And I am not a cry baby.

Another great video ....felt sorry for Sen puking up n getting told of :( The hole in the wall for water is too funny ..... One slight observation with your video's sometimes when u r driving and talking to camera the sound quality does dip, also when the music kicks in ... its somewhat louder than the verbal interactions so I do find myself lowering the volume at times during your vids .... but over all ...totally the best vlogs

You were on cloud nine for a while their, until Sen being sick caused you to loose it for a while. But I like the way your bought yourself out of the shitty mood - most people don’t think like that. Life is definitely too short to be negative all the time - glad you arrived safely at your kitesurfing destination. Looking forward to seeing what you all get up to this week - see you Sunday hopefully- stay safe in van life 🚐 what’s with all the police - guess they all wanted to meet kite van man!!!

The area you are travelling through in the deep Moroccan south is known to be used by smugglers of all kind, crossing through Mauritania and Algeria's vast Saharan borders. For security reasons, there are road checks to make sure all travellers are legit. Enjoy your trip in Morocco. Mohamed from Vancouver BC
