Africa: Morocco

A question about this place:
I'm going to drive from Marrakech to Ouarzazate and wanted to know where some good places to stop en route are. In Africa we were quite limited and could only stop at "safe" places but I'm assuming that Morocco is much safer than that?

Glad it was of help.
I’d be interested to know how you managed to avoid the fine. The impression that I got was that tourists are sport for the traffic police, issuing large fines that I’m sure Moroccans wouldn’t or couldn’t have paid – 400MAD for doing 55kph on the outskirts of a town.

I’m not really sure how I avoided it to be honest; apologising in Arabic and in French seemed to help.

I found everyone was very friendly – even the traffic cops; and they became even more welcoming once we tried talking to them.
