Greetings from me, david,a 72 yrs old Malaysian Chinese cyclist. You three had a Wonderful time in beautiful Morocco and the last part where the police were acting very concerned for your safety, is highly commendable! I had the golden choice to work for 4 years in Morocco,based at Casablanca,with Toyota Du Maroc from 2007-2010. I concur with you that making a return trip to further enjoy Morocco,is a must especially for you, so nearby! Best rgds to all three of you!
I agree with davidchan5424, the fact that the police were ensuring your safety is very commendable. It shows that they care about their reputation and about tourism in their country. They want people to feel safe in their country and you and your friends, being tourists, could have been taken advantage of. I know it's never happened to you on your cycle trips so far....but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Come to Morocco he said. We’ll ride our bikes he said. It will be pleasant and relaxing. Head winds, zero temperatures, police escort… Just teasing, it looked like the three of you had a great time. Close friends, beautiful scenery and adventure. Life is good. I loved the photo sequence, particularly the moon alignment series, great video, sweet music.
I was wondering where the police were until halfway through the video. Very nice and maybe safe, but also a bit annoying, right? Thanks for your videos, they're always a lot of fun.
We had a few police checks but that was only a for short look into our passports and that’s was all. So we didn’t really had contact with the police before. After Taourirt we run into another check up which led to the situation for our safety. Never felt unsafe there anyways, but yeah we appreciate their effort.
We stayed in the north and went from the west to the east. Once you get east enough the landscape becomes very flat and desert-ish. No dunes tho. The route was Ceuta-Tetouan-Chefchauen-Bab Taza-Douar Jouidar-Ain Aicha-Oued Amlil-Taza-Guercif-Taourirt-Nador ✌️
@@iSuKOwnerS We didnt avoid it actively...it was just not on the route we followed intuitively. We wanted to see the Taza Nationalpark, some desert like areas and had a limited time frame. So there is no real reason for that :)
may I ask why do you cycle along the coast. most people know that the Spanish Mediterranean coast is packed with tourists and infrastructures for tourists, in short, horrible. Spanish rural inland 1h from the the coast is soooo beautiful! next time ;)
Yeah I know but we wanted to get as quick as possible to a port to take a ferry to Morocco because my friend had only 3 weeks. It was complicated but worked out ^^
don't feel bad for african ''refugees'' - and I say that as an African, maybe only 10% of them actually come from a real war or life or death situation (Niger, Sahel, Mali right now have conflicts). In Africa, such as Morocco, if you can not succeed it just means you are a greedy and entitled young person because there are poor people making things out of nothing and making a living. In Morocco people find wood in the forests and make cutlery, seats, tables...In Morocco people take sand and soil and make clay and make pottery and ceramics and cure it with fire and sell it as beautiful earthware ceramics in souk. In Morocco you can set up a shop anywhere and no one will bother you on the street. You can set up a food stand, a juice stand, a coffee table anywhere and no one will ask to see paperwork. In Morocco you can literally walk into the forests and find wild goats, wild donkeys from old lost cattle and start your own cattle. In Morocco no one polices you for fishing, for hunting. In Morocco you can go into the rock canyons and dig and excavate for fossils and gems and sell them without any licence. I am sure that the same goes in pretty much all subsaharian africa wherein these people are extremely rich in freedoms but fail to realize it and only care about the empty materialism and wealth of the west such as cool sneaker and motorcycles and they are just unsalvageable youth who leaves their family, their own mother just by greeed. Don't feel bad for any of these young men refugee and trust me you don't want them. They are richer than you back home in many ways. Many of us slave back home in Europe or the West only to afford basic necessities when they can walk around and gather things and with a little bit of work they can have thriving businesses. Biggest point...In Morocco you do not have to justify your income streams. You can put in money at the bank without being questioned for your salary. Its a big cash culture all in Africa. What these youth need is a strict formative system that quickly teaches them to gather resources and start businesses instead of dreaming up fake American/Western dreams. I say this as a Moroccan and I speak for all Africans. We are richer than you in many ways especially our freedoms from laws and bureaucracy (sadly it's changing) and anyone could make it here so as long as they are willing to work. These kids who leave don't want to work, they want everything handed to them. Just be glad Morocco is policing the borders and empeaching them from entering but give us back Ceuta the spanish enclave and you will probably solve the entire soil right problem with refugees and only those that make it by boat will remain. Respectfully I do not mean to offend any Africans but these types of youth is misguided and just doesn't want to work and think of their parents who probably tried to warn them before you criticize me. Trust me you do not want someone who thinks life will be handed to them in Europe.

Hello Monkey, how are you? I am fine. I am happy to have you in my country. I am from Rabat. Welcome to my home in Rabat.
Thanks man :) It was a pleasure to see your country
Great video! Lots of familiar sights for me as i live in Gibraltar. Have you posted this route anywhere?
Unfortunately I didn’t didn’t track the route 😬
@@MONKEYON2WHEELS Thanks anyway, Im like that too lol.
That's life man... Bikes friends beaches, amazing. Just a pity that your friends had to fly Ryanair xD
🚴💨

That was very nice of the police to check on your safety. Would sort of feel a bit strange I think.
Im from Indonesia😅
did you went down south or why did it enter into dessert era? which route did you take
We stayed in the north and went from the west to the east. Once you get east enough the landscape becomes very flat and desert-ish. No dunes tho. The route was Ceuta-Tetouan-Chefchauen-Bab Taza-Douar Jouidar-Ain Aicha-Oued Amlil-Taza-Guercif-Taourirt-Nador ✌️
@@MONKEYON2WHEELS thank you! why did you avoid the el hoceima area? its considered the heart of the rif
@@iSuKOwnerS We didnt avoid it actively...it was just not on the route we followed intuitively. We wanted to see the Taza Nationalpark, some desert like areas and had a limited time frame. So there is no real reason for that :)
There should be at least another couple of 0's on the end of this channels sub count.
Welcome to South East Asian again.

Let's be honest if you were black refugees in this situation the police would've (brutally) treated you extremely differently
Yes, unfortunately I think that’s true. I guess there is a lot concern about international politics and stuff like that.
