This involved taking my bike on the bus from Fez CTM to Oujda. It was surprisingly cheap and easy, cost me 140 dirams for the 5 hours trip.
By bus. Whilst on the bus, I supposed, ‘what would be the best place to cross the border into Algeria’?
Hmmmm.
Not so friendly
It seems that Algeria and Morocco haven’t been friends for a very long time. The last time the border was open was in 1994. UK residents need a visa for entry also.
Bummer.
A bit of bad planning by me.
Never mind
The return flight only cost £40.
After some exhaustive searching on my phone whilst on the bus, it seemed that my options were.
- travel to Marseille to catch a ferry over to Tunis
- not bother, spend the rest of my time in Morocco and catch a flight back from Marrakech
A disappointment 🙁. Algeria is a large country. It looked to be quite a bit more expensive that Morocco, with less accommodation. Either way, the choice has been made, and I’ve decided to cycle around the other parts of the country I’ve not seen like Rabat, Casablanca and Mykenes.
Anything else would have seemed largely pointless and more stress and expense than necessary.
So here I am in Morocco
Let’s see what we can see.

A shame…..maybe…but Morocco sounds just so wonderful I’m sure you can have the best time just wandering round there visiting all the best places with no rush. I think from what you have said so far a visit in Harvey to Morocco may be on the cards. Look forward to following the new itinerary. I think Tunisia may not be quite as beautiful as Morocco in any case. I don’t know much about Algeria at all. Have the best time and fun making your new plans.
