OVERLAND MOROCCO ...Welcome Mr Bond

When you overland Morocco expect the unexpected...
Getting off the beaten track is a huge part of our adventures and in southern Morocco, we stumble upon... yep, the unexpected.
From out of nowhere a local man pointed us in the direction of Gara Medouar - what a place, and steeped in history, this was no ordinary park up!
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need 4WD or a monstrous overland truck to explore this fascinating country. It’s safe and accessible whether you're in a car, campervan, motorhome, or motorcycle, and will give you an unforgettable experience... what are you waiting for?

I’m Spanish from Moroccan origin And must say between these two countries I find every type of terrain,scenery that I may want Been all over Europe , the states, some Latin American countries and some south eastern Asian ones But I was always happier coming back to either Spain or Morocco than when I was leaving So I no longer go elsewhere willingly I have a bike and was thinking of getting an Rv but I’m probably getting another bike Enjoy yourselves that place never gets old

[@TheGapDecaders]

Thank you, we understand & love returning to Morocco, time and again. As a bike lover I totally get it, we used to tour all over Europe on two wheels & although we love our truck, it's two wheels that excites me the most. 🙏😀

[@kevindavis5430]

Gara Medouar is an exceptional place, there is something about it that makes me go back every time that i can visit. There are some caves aswell. The Moroccan gentleman is always very kind, last time he had lunch with us. All the best in your adventures.

[@TheGapDecaders]

We'll be back to find the caves for sure! Thanks for the tip :)

[@Andy-su8ch]

What an incredible place another great video thank you for taking us with you 👏

[@abdodokkali8164]

You are a man in the sense of masculinity, and this is what we see in the words and looks of people's eyes. Whoever sees beautiful and wonderful scenes and things, these people will only be wonderful and kind welcome to Morocco my friend the gap decaders👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheGapDecaders]

Thank you so much, I'm not sure how to respond to that other than I feel truly humbled 🙏

[@A_chekko]

Awesome video 👍, just an observation, on the map displayed on your beautiful video the Moroccan map was inaccurate and divided. Please choose other maps. I really enjoyed your video that's why I subscribed. Best of luck and keep up the good work 👍🇲🇦🇨🇦

[@TheGapDecaders]

Hi Anass, Thank you... your feedback is appreciated. I've already uploaded the next video showing the map with the divided area, however I have ammended this to show the country as one which I'll use for further videos. This was never meant to offend, we love Morocco and enjoy exploring your fascinating country. 🙏😀

[@A_chekko]

@@TheGapDecaders Hi there, No offence taken at all, as I mentioned earlier in my first comment that I really enjoy you videos and as a Moroccan living in Canada you have showed me some places in my own country that I oblivious to. Again thank you for your initiative regarding the map and for your hard work that provides us viewers an inspiration to explore the world. Good luck and please keep the videos coming😁. Peace ✌️🇲🇦🇨🇦

[@mcnaughtsontour]

I really enjoyed your video and recognised my wife would have the same reaction as Izzy 🙂. We have a two wheel drive Ducato campervan so we couldn't tackle some of the stuff you did today. I've subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. Morocco is in our go to list for some point in the future. Take care.

[@TheGapDecaders]

Hi both and thank you. Yeah we’re at odd's when it comes to overland adventure but we make it work... although I (Phil) still think Compromise is a dirty word. 😬 Honestly, don't hesitate in coming to Morocco, you're Ducato will get you almost everywhere you want to go 🙏😀

Great shot 👏

[@TheGapDecaders]

Thank you😀

[@daveroberts-bridgnorth]

Another brilliant video. It always strikes me how much work you do to provide the stunning imagery. Of course it is seamless to watch but you must be constantly running back and forth setting up the camera and then featuring in long shots. I’m sure that you were missing your drone, that would have saved a lot of leg work. I really love what you produce.

[@TheGapDecaders]

Hi Dave, Thank you so much, really appreciate the positive feedback & yes there’s always lots of camera set up required. I'd love the drone here, it would bring a whole new perspective to the videos (maybe one day 🤞). Just editing the next video & I've just put in a speeded-up video on the endscreen 👍😁 Cheers, Phil

[@thetravellingtaffs]

Brilliant video as always, so interesting to see the difference in cultures and as you say it makes you appreciate the life that we live

Hi Paulina, 🙏😀

[@peterfinch3548]

I eagerly look forward to your videos every week as you always have something different to show us. However, I wish you wouldn't walk quite so close to the edge! I get frightened just watching and, I guess like Izzy, I would vote for staying at ground level. Another great video this week. Many thanks once again.

[@TheGapDecaders]

Hi Peter, thank you as always. I'm sat here laughing but fear not, I'm good with heights and don’t intend leaving this world anytime soon. Our next video is very much at ground level, but even that throws up its own challenges.

[@azizazzami213]

First of all, the map of Morocco is not right. You shouldn't show that the Western Sahara is split up from the mother land. Rectify that please if you want to welcome in my homeland.

[@TheGapDecaders]

Hi Aziz, we love Morocco and obviously did not mean to offend anyone regarding Western Sahara. I've already uploaded the latest video which shows the boundary however, I have now amended the map, removing Western Sahara & dotted line. 🙏😀

Hello! Don't know if you remember, but last year i've asked you about the road condition to Saint Trinity Church in Georgia. Well, we've been there by motorcycle as i said and now we're preparing for the Morocco trip :))). I've just learned about Gara Medougar and gave it a search on YT and found you again :)). We're heading there on 19th of April. Thanks for the clip, safe travels!

[@TheGapDecaders]

Ah that's good to hear, its a really special place. Have an awesome trip :)

[@TheGapDecaders]

Hi and yes I do remember, you'll absolutely love that part of Morocco and Gara Medour is a must, you'll be able to ride right up to the top for some great images 👌Enjoy 🙏

welcome to Morocco 🥰🥰

[@TheGapDecaders]

thank you so much 🙏😀

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Very interesting. The movie set aspect was cool but to see and touch something that was built so long ago. 11th century was it? 😮👍

[@TheGapDecaders]

Totally agree, the movie set is irrelevant really. The ancient history of this place is fascinating, I've only just touched on it 🙏😀

[@neilkendall9621]

I’m retired but I wish I had got your stamina to enjoy life keep save 😊😊

“You really don’t want to get to close to the edge here” he says walking right up to the edge of an outcrop! 😂😂😂

No brainers are definitely the way to go 🙋‍♂️

[@TheGapDecaders]

lol, I think so. Welcome to the No Brainer gang 😀

[@thelittleredbus]

So did you buy anything from the man on the bike? If so, what sort of costs do you consider reasonable?

[@TheGapDecaders]

He was such a genuinely decent man and very unusually didn’t even try to sell me anything. I gave him the equivalent of about £7, he was flabbergasted and said I could have anything from the box. As beautiful as they were, I didn't need anything and just asked him for a photo of us, which he jokingly said "you can have a hundred". That was a lot, but given the remote location (and the fact I really liked him), normally 3-5 euro's depending on the item.

Eastern and Western Sahara are Moroccan land .

[@mahdiderabat]

There isn't Western Sahara but Moroccan Sahara ....

[@TheGapDecaders]

Appreciate the comment 🙏

[@Calicokit101]

Not true. Western Sahara is it's own country which is being illegally occupied and taken over by Morocco from the north and Mauritania from the south. Morocco should stay in its own country. @GapDecaders please do not show maps that remove the border with Western Sahara which Morocco has invaded and illegally annexed.
