Hanneke Jun 2023 5:46pm, 4 Jun 2023 104,273 posts	0 Hanneke We largely stayed in tents and basic hostels, but we also stayed in some fabulous boutique hotels just as you got fedup roughing it. We had fabulous local food cooked for us and sleeping in a Bedouin tent in the Sahara desert after riding sand dunes was magical!

Pou Pou LePhoõk Jun 2023 6:10pm, 4 Jun 2023 3,977 posts	0 Pou Pou LePhoõk A couple of cycle tourists got killed in Tajikistan a few years back. Mind you, a couple of hikers also got killed in the Atlas mountains a few years ago. I did the cycling with Red Spokes, on a trip similar to this: redspokes.co.uk I thought Tajikistan was a very different experience to Morocco.
