Thanks for your kind comments.

there are so many beautiful and diverse places one can visit that a 'must see/do' list would really do unjustice to the place. Everyone can pick and mix and make the trip as unique as they like. However my personal highlights would be the following:
-Visiting the beautiful village of Chefchaouen in the Rif mountains. This place offers an easy and relaxed introduction into the Moroccan culture.
-Crossing the Middle Atlas.
-Visiting the town of Midelt. Even though the town itself is nothing spectacular, there are a few interesting "piste" routes that start off from there. They have nice carpets as well ;-)
-Visiting the village of Merzouga in the South and exploring the desert. Sooo much fun. The sand dunes are spectacular.
-The two gorges on the road to Ouarzazate (gorge of Todra and gorge of Dades) are beautiful. Lots of turns in the mountainous road for the fans of that sport....
-Crossing the high Atlas either at Tizi n Tichka or Tizi n Test. I only did one of them... totally worth it. The mountains in that area are pretty impressive.
-I only went to one big town, Marrakesch and I was not overly impressed. Not too many things to see really and the place can be overwhelming. It is however worth visiting at least one big city to see what it's like. If I did it again I would go either to Fez or Casablanca.
Hope this helps....

The existence of this 0.1% is rumoured. I have not yet confirmed it myself ;-)
