WESTERN SAHARA to MAURITANIA: from Dakhla to the most dangerous border of the world

Three months after we drove the motorcycles to Dakhla, we continued our journey in the desert of Morocco/Western Sahara. We had heard many nightmare stories about the border of Mauritania ahead (it was supposed to be the most dangerous border in the world with a lawless No Man's land with landmines and small sandy tracks). But our first obstacle when returning to Dakhla was to find a motorcycle garage for changing the tires of our bikes before we could enjoy the oasis of Dakhla for Kitesurfing. A little break before we really started our adventure ride south through the desert on the westcoast of Africa. On the way through Morocco/ Western Sahara we came across many checkpoints, beautiful dunes and amazing landscapes before we finally hit the border of Mauritania...

Meine Frau und ich durchquerten 1992/93 Afrika, von der Schweiz bis Cape Town, mit einer XT600Z Tenere und einer XT600. Die von Euch beschriebene Route fuhren wir auch. Für das Visum nach Mauretanien kauften wir in Rabat ein Flugticket. Nachdem wir das Visum hatten, haben wir das Ticket (mit kleinem Verlust) zurückgegeben. Wir fuhren in einem Konvoi mit Paris-Dakar Begleitfahrzeugen und englischen Overland-Trucks, alles durcheinander. An der Grenze musste eine Düne überquert werden. Was für ein Schauspiel. Da flogen Wasserkühler und Reserveräder durch die Luft. Vieles von eurem Beschrieb scheint aber auch unverändert geblieben zu sein.
Jetzt haben wir uns die Tenere 700 gekauft, vermutlich das erste Motorrad nach der XT600, das wieder für eine solche Reise passt.
