Bir Moghrein -> Fortress on the border with Western Sahara (on Michelin Map it’s the star)

We had to make 96km until a place known has "Le Mure" or "the wall" which consists of a thousand km wall separating Morocco from the land mines of the Western Sahara land, full of Front Polisario activist and many pirates that can appear and try to kidnap you or rob you in the middle of the desert.
From Bir Moghrein to “the wall” was about 40km.
There are blue marks for UN free of mines tracks that can be easily be done with 4x4. Altough some landmines mysteriously change place…
This blue marks are just a few pilled stones on the floor that are painted in blue.
There's a point on the map that you can see that is a star. That start is a local of interest. Here on the picture you can see which one is it. Its the exact point where Mauritania ends, and the no man's land between Morocco and lost and unprotected land mined western sahara full of pirates begin.
you have 40km until the military moroccan check point.
