WESTERN SAHARA to MAURITANIA: from Dakhla to the most dangerous border of the world // EPS.2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2020
- Three months after we drove the motorcycles to Dakhla, we continued our journey in the desert of Morocco/Western Sahara. We had heard many nightmare stories about the border of Mauritania ahead (it was supposed to be the most dangerous border in the world with a lawless No Man's land with landmines and small sandy tracks). But our first obstacle when returning to Dakhla was to find a motorcycle garage for changing the tires of our bikes before we could enjoy the oasis of Dakhla for Kitesurfing. A little break before we really started our adventure ride south through the desert on the westcoast of Africa. On the way through Morocco/ Western Sahara we came across many checkpoints, beautiful dunes and amazing landscapes before we finally hit the border of Mauritania...

In 2021, the buffer zone, specifically the Guerguerat region, was secured from the threats of the terrorist Polisario organization, now everyone can move freely and safely from Morocco to Mauritania.
No youth called the Western Sahara finds that it is Moroccan or you are not welcome again. This is our Morocco, our land, our home 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Very nice adventures showing 🙂👍👌
Meine Frau und ich durchquerten 1992/93 Afrika, von der Schweiz bis Cape Town, mit einer XT600Z Tenere und einer XT600. Die von Euch beschriebene Route fuhren wir auch. Für das Visum nach Mauretanien kauften wir in Rabat ein Flugticket. Nachdem wir das Visum hatten, haben wir das Ticket (mit kleinem Verlust) zurückgegeben. Wir fuhren in einem Konvoi mit Paris-Dakar Begleitfahrzeugen und englischen Overland-Trucks, alles durcheinander. An der Grenze musste eine Düne überquert werden. Was für ein Schauspiel. Da flogen Wasserkühler und Reserveräder durch die Luft. Vieles von eurem Beschrieb scheint aber auch unverändert geblieben zu sein.
Jetzt haben wir uns die Tenere 700 gekauft, vermutlich das erste Motorrad nach der XT600, das wieder für eine solche Reise passt.
Man weiß nicht, ob es Fluch oder Segen ist, dass anscheinend vieles einfacher geworden ist dieser Tage (zumindest wenn es um das überqueren von Grenzen geht). Denn das richtige Spektakel verpasst man dann natürlich! Das gute: immerhin ist die Natur und die Wüste selbst spektakulär, also muss man nicht zu traurig sein.
Ich stimme dir zu, was die Reisetauglichkeit der Tenere 700 angeht. Ich sage immer, sie ist wie fur mich gemacht, da Geschmäcker nunmal einfach verschieden sind - aber heimlich glaube ich, dass sie eigentlich für jeden Reisenden gemacht ist. 😁
Hey, I admire your courage and adventures. You are an inspiration to many of us riders. Great filming. Keep them coming. Watching From Malta.
Sahara Marokko 🇲🇦 ❤️
WOW...Your video productions are outstanding...Loving the series.
Thank you so much! 😁
Crossing the desert is very difficult, you must be careful ، good luck 🌹♥️👍
wow
Interesting, I follow your yourney. Thanks a lot and hope to see you soon. Greating from Holland
More than my expectations in this velog
Nice variety of content, well done.
Just found your channel through Itchyboots...very interesting trips, videos and stories. Danke! I will keep on watching you from my home in Canada which I am presently unable to leave due to Covid. Hopefully over next year.
Very well told.
Miss lea good job
Decent work. Greetings from Türkiye 🇹🇷.
Wanderful! 🔥
Greetings from Chile 🙌🏼
Great impressions of your journey! Nice opening, nice graphics and a good choice of music. You can see that this has been produced by a journalist, great storytelling. Weiter so Lea, Grüße aus Berlin.
Danke, das freut mich sehr!!!
Good effort
I'm Moroccan and Welcome to my city Dakhla!
No this is Western Sahara 🇪🇭
@@daviroza4700 Nooo
Wow courageous girl 💜💚💛🧡💙♥️💗
Simply dope! You've done great with editing. 15 minutes of pure pleasure. Happy I've discovered you (on the channel of Kinga's ON HER BIKE) Keep it up! Stay safe on the road.
Great, I hope you will as well join our next live session with Kinga and the other girls! 😍
@@Got2Go Yes sure! Your sessions are fun, informative, you share your dreams (and very important too, you empower women with all that cool bike-thing!) THX!
nice work! every time I hear more and more the same pattern!! people media state how dangerous the places are ,,, and if you use your common sense and LISTEN to locals everything is OK! I just crossed Mexico GUatemala El salvador 4 times and I felt safer than some places here in US! ... thank you for sharing!
Thanks to visit my country, you are welcome 🇪🇭
Your country is Morocco :)
Moroccan sahara is beautiful😊
Yes but but this is Western Sahara 🇪🇭
I was expecting more Off-Road, seems like Tarmac Roads are conquering all regions. Great Videos!
restless soul yes, and you are really not advised to do too much off-road because of all the land mines. But: if you continue south as a traveler to the next countries, you will sometimes wish back all that nice asphalt when being stuck in sand again (or at least I did 🤣)
Wait for Kongo :)
Greetings from Alaska Highway in Canada :)
Glad I found you, I used to follow you on Instagram but I haven't used that platform for the last year. Great to see you on Yamaha t700
And for me this Plattform here is completely new! Cool that our ways crosses again. And yes, love the Tenere , best decision ever to get the little fox.
Schade, dass du nicht durch meine Stadt gegangen bist er Puig Valencia Ich hoffe, die nächste Reise wird für dich großartig Lea 👋
good luck
Well done Lea and comedic as well! 😂 Hoping I can find your book "Sag dem Abenteuer, ich komme" on Amazon. 💯🇺🇸
It will come out in a english version as a ebook in about a month!!!
Great Inspirational Video!
In a way I would suggest it's a little bit weird to take all these measures to do something relatively dangerous. Riding motorcycles on empty Tarmac roads stretching from Western Sahara to Mauritania and taking in the Yellow dunes of the pure African desert. But seeing the seaside of things too. Doing Kite Surfing among other things...
I was to a great extent inspired!
I think it is this: That doing something completely out of the ordinary presents great challenges and many traps (such as falling down on the road with a motor-cycle!) but *just because* of the challenges and the risk of losing one's neck one can also feel very much elevated from one's adventures. Never can *I* feel just so alive as when I do something similar!
A great life-lesson for sure!
Some things could be said about how you filmed this but it had a great "documentary-film" vibe. We don't always see what you filmed all the time - some strange camera angles here! - but it just added to "the cool" experienced in this video!
It felt "real" in some way!
Great video!

Enjoy!
VERY ADVENTUROUS
I have just recently started following you. Love your channel. Will definitely continue to subscribe and follow. Enjoy! 👍
Hey, thanks for great content!
Quick question: what was your speed on tarmac when there was a lot of sand on it @ 10:42? I find it tricky when grip changes so much, but I never rode on such uneven conditions.
This was only a very short stretch before the dunes and not kilometers long - and most of it there was still enough tarmac without sand to not to have to ride in it. As long as I still was on tarmac I didn’t slow down too much so I was probably still going 80 or so (and I was looking for the dune to climb on, so I was not going so fast anyways). when the road is completely covered I go much slower though, never hitting sand driving faster than 50 if I can avoid that.
@@Got2Go Thanks for answer! Keep up with great content, take care and safe ride!
Lea, du wirst immer besser. Ich möchte mir ja noch ein paar Superlative aufheben, aber das hat schon Kinoqualität. Bin gespannt auf Teil 3 ;-))
Danke, lieber Oli!
Just randomly found y'all. Absolutely love the authenticity, I am hooked. Do you have a bio anywhere so I can hear a bit about your background? Hopeful for a cross continent S. America!
Yes there stand a little bit about me in the about on the channel here - otherwise you can head to my website www.Learieck.de (and find the English button in the menue, otherwise it’s all in German ☺️)
Hi Lea WOW what a outstanding and beautiful place tyre changes are a bit to be disastrous l don't think l will be putting brake fluid on my skin?But the vid was brilliant thanks for sharing your thoughts and information about the place keep safe and healthy all the best from u.k biker Dean 🏍👍
I don’t think I will put break fluids on my wounds either 😂. But I know: it actually didn’t make them worse!
Fantastic video if you made a movie I would certainly want to watch it
Maybe when I did all around Africa - but I think a movie should be wayyyyy more professional than my cutting here 😁
ciao ho guardato tutti i tuoi video sono bellissimi complimenti....mi diresti le valigie laterali di quanti litri sono?? la valigia di sinistra e la valigia di destra..grazie
Hat mir sehr gut gefallen, liebe Lea. Freue mich auf weitere Folgen. 🤗👍🏻
Muss noch viel lernen von Profis wie dir!
Got2Go Ich finde Du machst das bereits extrem gut und letztendlich zählt der Inhalt und der ist überragend bei Dir!
Hey, I have a small question because I see that using a drone in Morocco ... how did you get the permit and was it difficult to get it ? Thanks for any information. Regards ✌️
i cant believe my self 2 foreign woman on motor bike crossing one of the toughest border 👍.
My travel Partner is a guy - but I guess he has as well a female side 😁
OMG so sorry, happy journey.
@@Got2Go Its moroccan sahara 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Hello,
Can you tell me what's the song name at around 03:55?
By the way, in 2019.09 we also have made a Morocco two week trip.
Awesome experience.

Hello, I follow your adventures with great interest, and I say congratulations, it is well explained and fairly well filmed.
On the other hand it would just be necessary that you raise your camera a little to see a little further the landscape and less the tarmac. The landscape is more interesting than the tarmac. Good luck and ride safe
Yes that camera is as well very bad. From Senegal on the road filming will be much better due to a new GoPro - but the real camera on helmet position I actually only found when I got back now and put a new position at the mouth of the helmet. Always improving and so much to learn 😅
👌
Shame to see the rubbish in such a stunning place, each day when I do my early morning cycle ride in Thailand and the road side rubbish is the same, only when the rainy season comes, soon, the vegetation grows up and hides the plastic.
sahara its part of Morocco and u didnt need a passport to cross it
Thank you for taking me on your journey to Western Sahara. It was pleasant.
There is no country called western sahara educate yourself
👍🏻💡
You are so lucky . The border between Morocco and Mauritania is totally controlled by Moroccans now. No dangerous border any more
I’m so jealous, how do you like tenere compared to an GS1.2k
I think the Tenere is the best bike for going on a long journey where you will not Know how the roads are. I just love it! The gs is a very good motorcycle too, but I would not necessarily love it somwhere in westafrica.
💡👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Occupied Western Sahara.
LOL it looks super dupper occupied... you should go in actual occupied places like in the West Bank, and you will see the difference :) Did you see any soldiers on the video?
@@adilelnhaily1960 Free Palestine/Western Sahara.
@@fredb1235 Free your mom ;) Moroccan sahara is already free

The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces took control of the borders last December.
Now the frontier is 100% secure and polisario-free :)
Nice surprise hearing the trombone. It's kind of German...
