Low on Water | Bikepacking the Moroccan Desert!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- Morocco is getting drier by the mile as we descent into a vast gold mining area. A dusty off road track leads us through breathtaking landscapes that could be mistaken for another world. Camping here is magical with specially adapted goats who are able profit from the hostile vegetation. When our water gets low we have a chance encounter with a motorbike expedition. Some animated conversation follows and they replenish our liquid needs in the most refreshing of ways. After this beautiful but exhausting stretch we land in the town of Tata. We take some well deserved rest days before heading out even deeper into the desert...

The best couple on the internet, the best editing, the clearest voices, and your videos somehow always make me hungry 🤣. You should have a million +Subscribers you show the world in an amazing way 🙏
Haha!! Well... This tajine & berber omelette were actually amazing, the best we had in Morocco perhaps! And thanks for the wonderful compliment 💛
I agree with you 100%
There's something magical about a desert wilderness, barren, dangerous yet beautiful.
So magical, and you only get to experience it's magic once you're there for a while... then you start to see all the different 'faces' of this mysterious place.
You are absolutely incredible. ❤
Beautiful country and people. Nice editing. Enjoy!
Desert touring can be addictive 😉
Very addictive!!
You guys are unbelievable 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Drinking beer 🍻 in the middle of nowhere 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Little lady calls it the Moon, I call it the Happy place 🍻🍻🚲🚲. You know, With all the shit going on around the world right now 😡 You guys help forget that all for a while. From Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you 🔥
Thanks Tony! We're happy to hear that and bring some positivity... On our bicycle adventures we experience a lot of warmth, hospitality and generosity, which gives us perspective and hope for the future!
My goodness, you are both having what must be the adventure of a lifetime. Wonderful
It absolutely is! We feel very fortunate to be able to do this.
Boy, that bread looked so GOOD. Yummy
Yes, fresh bread is just 👌!!
Every second of your video gives sense it is almost like watching the animal documentary. You guys deserve millions and millions of subscribers. People need to get to know the true values of life and this world before they find you.. Ur my fav on utube. Stay yourselves
Thank you so much for your uplifting words 🙏🏼 Wishing you all the very best, E&M
Absolutely fantastic ❤😊
Refrescante
Beer and bike, amazing scenery.
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡👍👍👍
Another fantastic video, Morocco is an incredible and very challenging country to navigate! Lack of water is always a concern in those conditions, I'm glad help was at hand and most welcome I'm sure👍
Yes, managing our water was often on our mind and some extra is certainly welcome in these situations... The beer too 😎
I've watched your videos for a while now, it's so nice to see how your storytelling and video making abilities are improving, can't wait for the next chapter :)
Very cool to hear, thank you 🙏🏼 Wishing you all the best! E&M
You guy always deliver high quality content! Cheers 🍻 😅
🙏🍻
That was something. Thank you.
🙏
WOW
Morocco is so beautiful and those people you met on the road so cool, thanks E&M for another great slice of adventure
Yes these random interactions really 'make' the trip!! 👌
Beautiful scenes thanks
You guys never cease to amaze me. You're so inspiring, funny, creative. courageous.... Only you could work a cliff hanger into a bike touring video. Love it! "It's so special to be able to share it with the one I love." That's exactly how I feel about the tours I do with my partner. Thank you for putting in the hard work (while making it look so fun) to let us experience this adventure with you.
Thanks for the wonderful words Peter, yes it's the best! Sometimes we can 'stick each other behind wallpaper' (Dutch expression) but most of the time it's such a joy to experience all these moment together 💛
Cold beer in the desert is possibly the best trail magic ever! 😂
You might be right!! 😎
Wow
Incredible.
Crossing terrible dessert through rough road on bike is a real adventure. Lack of drinking water at the mid desert and - luckily - appearance of motorbike expediters - sharing cold drinks and hospitality is amazing.
An incredible moment for sure! 😀
Love how water turns up when you needed it… AND beer 😎🍻
Yesss, we do too!! 🍻
❤❤❤
Wow! It must have been special to see those camels just walking around like that.
Pretty elegant creatures! 🐪
Camping/ Cycling/ Exploring because therapy is expensive ❤❤❤❤ awesome beer ride.. bless human kind ❤❤❤
Yes it's definitely a great way to learn more about yourself & the world! 💚
Tierras maravillosas..☺️
😊
Thanks for another great video. Best cycle touring content on YT (after Iohan RIP).
Thank you! Iohan's video's, adventure and spirit were wonderful! 💚
Wonderful, amazing area and video
I didn't know the moon was so beautiful!
It is isn't it? 🌗
hahaha very nice when they handed out beer ! Not the best option in the desert but eh ! xD
greetz
Brother P !

Fun riding along on another adventure
🙏
The best advertisement Special Flag could ever dream of
Haha, yes, they should sponsor us!? 🍻
Yea! My favorite bicycling couple! Great video as always. Such hospitable people in Morocco and such beautiful landscapes.
Lovely to hear! Thanks Matthew 😊 Best wishes!! E&M
I'm not certain which is most impressive, your video story telling, editing or your ability to write so eloquently. So enjoyable to watch your videos. Thank you!
Thanks Sandra, for the kind words! 🙏
Brilliant video, I can't wait to see the next episode.
Thanks.
Working on it! 👍

Magic camp spot! Good on you guys, keep on riding & living free!
Can't really go wrong with camp locations in this region! ⛺️
Maravilloso
😊
Marrocos(in portuguese...) is a country in my travel list! Nice!
It should be, you're so close 😊 We still need to visit Portugal...
😍😍
Good
As always a great videos it shows how nice people really are .
Thank you David 😊 Best wishes from us!!
Duct tape works as a fix for bad rim tape. That crew cab pickup looks straight out of America. Can't believe a black truck in the desert. And the guy's hauling beer! Amazing encounter.
Good one, we used that before for a temporary fix. Somehow the problem is reoccurring, even after trying different brands...
Surreal ride, what an amazing experience, love it! 😍❤ Safe travels u 2 ❤
Thanks so much 😊 All the Best, E&M
Love Your Videos❤Jeep going lovelys...
That was epic. A party in the desert who would of thought that. Beautiful country and that baker knew his business. Thanks for another outstanding video and I like that 360 view. Take care, Al
Oh yes for sure, he certainly got a 'flow' going on... Fresh bread, one of the best things there is!! 🥖
Chilled free beers in the desert is just what the doctor ordered, fit for a king🍺🍺 bottoms up 😉
Cheers!! 🍻
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
🙏😊
I just loved the beer mirage scene! You guys always surprise me each week.
Great video as usual. Our intrepid travellers doing what I cannot do.
Thank you 🙏
Wow! What an amazing video!
Thank you!!
Interesante
Grande abraço 👍🇧🇷🇧🇷
Fantastic love the video thanks for sharing take care 👌🙏
Thanks Matt 😊 All the Best, E&M
Another fine video from my favorite cycling couple. Thanks for sharing!
😍😍mooie vlog 😉😍😍 groetjes vanuit België 😉
Dank je 😊
oh come on, you don‘t need clickbait titles. Following you for a long time now - thanks for sharing the beauty of the world with me 👍
Thank you and we get your point. We don't prefer them either though our more 'normal' titles and thumbnails do get significantly less clicks. This way we also get a lot of new viewers that genuinely enjoy our video's, and would otherwise be less likely to find this video in their youtube feed.
Hence if we don't make use of a little 'clickbait', the video's that we put so much love and effort into making, don't get presented that well in the mysterious YT algorithm.
Love it.
Every time I get a notification that you have a new video to share, the first thing I do when I get home is watch it.
Amazing photography.
You two are wonderful.
😊🙏
God bless, thank you, and safe journey!
What an awesome video...the landscape!! wow!! Mahalo!!
Great Video. Cheers!
Incredible. I look forward to watching your adventures every day. Very inspiring, very well done!
Andrew

Wow is amazing
Thank you 😊 All the best!
👍👍👍
Thanks Miriam :) Best wishes!
Really great footage in this video.. Kudos to Wheels to Wander.
That baker looked very busy indeed and must sell a lot of those loaves daily.
Thanks! Yes we think so, they bake it fresh the whole day long 😊
Epic.... Yes, I'd certainly say so ! Absolutely superb episode from start to finish, thanks for taking me along for the ride guys. Looking forward to the next installment. Cheers !
Thanks 🙏😊
Loving the Moroccan series.
I went once to Morocco, Marrakech and Essauira, very interesting, but we were harassed all the time as they are very touristy places, would love to give it another try in a more authentic place from the country.
Whats that new cooking system you are using?
We can totally recommend that! The system is a Trangia alcohol burner with the Fire Box Nano stove. Thanks & Best wishes
😍😍
👍
Doesn't the beer dehydrate you more? Nice scenery and wonderful post. You two are very special. Stay safe and hydrated.
Hmm, I guess you're right, we couldn't resist! 🍻
Greeting from Canada. I m moroccan you make me remember when i was a kid i hade a bick every day i had to go 5km by it to my school and when my mother told me to bring some stuff from the sook i remember a lot of things about that. Thanks
Lovely to hear your memories of your motherland! Wishing you all the best 😊
Buena
Buen video
Gracias 🙏🏼
Wow you guys. You're editing (and footage of course) is just amazing. But really - the edit is just outstanding. I'm also making films and getting lots of inspiration from you guys. Also - my wife and I just had a blast cycling to the south coast of France. Thought of you along the way. Keep up the great work!
Thank you 🙏😊 We're trying to get better each time... That sounds great, it's still an area we would like to explore, France is a wonderful country for touring! (at least, outside the hunting season when you camp)
the latest videos are very, very beautiful and you can see your commitment in making them, well done, keep it up💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💛👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you Antonio 🙏🏼 Wishing you all the best!! E&M
The video's are gorgeous!. I am very curious about when you release the next video showing the trip from Foum Zguid ro M'hamid. This trip through El Gouera and Lake Iriki along the Erg Chegaga dunes is really challenging!
Thank you Ivo! The video is in the making... and yes: quite the challenge but perhaps our favourite stretch 🚲😉
Buen equipamiento
Stay safe. Don't put yourselves in danger.
Thanks Sylvia, we won't 🙏
Great video
Thank you!!
Amazing!!!
Thanks Mr. Jaree 👌🏼
Amazing adventure once again! I was on that same route years ago so many memories you brought back, thank you!
Awesome, we really enjoyed that stretch!! 😀
Hi Maudi & Eric
I’ve been watching your videos since you started over 4 years ago
My wife watched one of your episodes recently and enjoyed it so much she wanted to see more so now we’ve gone back to your first videos when you started and we are watching three videos most nights until we’ve seen them all.
You two are sandwich between programs on Netflix and Apple TV
Keep up the great work and videos
Are you still in Morocco cycling?
Take care
Nigel and Jennifer in Cornwall, England
A brave desert tour, not without risks. Heel stoer hoor.
Nowadays those rim tapes are a frequent source of flats. They are assembled in low cost countries. I usually replace the for a better quality after getting a new bike and of course with precise mounting.
Thanks! We also have tried different brands and like you said, it's important to install it properly... Do you have any tips on which one to get?
Love it
Great to hear Stephen 😊 All the best, E&M
