Most people who visit Western Sahara, will come there to take the Atlantic Transsahara Route from Europe to Mauritania, Senegal and other West African countries. So we did, but we came from the south and travelled to the north. What is anyway a ´must see´, not because you maybe will like it, but because you can cannot avoid to see it for about 1000 KM, is the stripe of asphalt in the inmense desert landscape. Maybe it is boring at the long run, but it is also impressive. If you like to learn more about the transsahara routes, look at the website below.

After the Spanish left Spanish Sahara, 350.000 Moroccan civilians walked into the Western Sahara, the so-called Green March of 1975, orchestrated by the Moroccan King Hassan II. I was at that time In Marrakesh. I didn´t know exactly what was going on, looking at the impressive procession of thousands of people of all kind like young, old, traditonial, modern, male and female. After the ceasefire between the Moroccans and Frente Polisario in 1991, Morocco poured money into infrastructure and housing projects. Moroccans from the north have been lured to move to here by tax-free living and prospect of employement. In the desert we saw many new built houses and urban areas. As an European townplanner it was interesting for me to see, how newtowns are built in these desert areas.
