 Oh, look at this view. Whoa! Hi, I'm Lavi, and this is Oli. We are attempting a new Guinness World Record to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. After riding 3,000 miles across Europe, we are now ready to explore the roads of North Africa. Click the subscribe button to follow our journey around the world, and let the adventure begin. Good morning, world. Welcome back to the channel. It's day number 58 on our round the world trip. So we are here on the outskirts of Marrakesh, staying in a little Airbnb. We had a really good night because this room has two windows. And in the night, it was actually nice and cold, and we had some wind flow going as well, so a natural air condition. Well, let me show you guys where we're heading today. OK, so we are here just on the outskirts of Marrakesh, and we are going to be heading back over the High Atlas Mountains, stopping off here at Imlil before joining back up and continuing our way south to join up with the N10, where we'll be making our way to the city of Tarudant. Now, this place, Imlil, is special because it's actually the closest you can get to Mount Tupkal, which is actually the highest mountain in Morocco, and the highest mountain in all of North Africa. So we're going to try and get as close as we can to that so we can get a nice view of it. In total, we have about 160 miles to cover, or 255 kilometers. We woke up quite early today. It's just 7.45. Now we have to set up Bumblebee, and then we are ready to hit the road. So let's go. Ah, yeah, you're getting there. Woo! Look at this beautiful breakfast. It's like oil and honey over some traditional bread. The mom from Watt and Ahmed is so, so amazing. She gave us some sweets for the road. She's a professional sweetmaker, and have a look at that. Check that out. And they just, you know, she just made it for us and it's just so nice. It's just really, really, really nice. I love you. Good morning, Bumblebee. Oh, it's behind the golden curtain. Thank you. Good luck. Here we go. Ready to hit the road. Yeah, it's 8.30 now. Not bad. It's OK. Not bad. It's already hot, though. What's the temperature? 24. So it's not crazy, but it's still a warm summer's day. Yes. Even at 8.30 in the morning. Yeah, but luckily we're heading into the mountains, at least for the first half of the day. We will be hopefully a little bit cooler. That's true. But anyway, it's always good to start early in the morning because you can see the traffic is not that crazy. Exactly. A little bit calmer in the morning, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Everybody's not yet fully woken up yet. It doesn't look like the people are waiting for the cars. They're just going for a day. Going for it. So now we're just going to head out of the city, say goodbye to Marrakesh. Goodbye, Marrakesh. And say hello to the Atlas Mountains. Oh, yes. We're going back up into the mountains now. We have left Marrakesh behind and are entering the High Atlas. The temperature has dropped down a little actually now, 22 degrees as we're climbing up, which is absolutely lovely. Nice and refreshing. Yeah, yeah. Just getting out of the city. You already started to get hot, even at 9 in the morning. So it's nice to get out on the open road. Yes. Climb up a bit. Yeah. And have the cool mountain air. Came off the main road and now we are just heading up to the place Imlil, these windy mountain roads. Yeah, this is a smaller road. It's like eight miles up this little road to get to Imlil. Oh, hold on a minute. Got some trucks talking to each other. But we're starting to get the views now. And you can still see a little bit of snow up on the mountains at the top. So it looks like even into the summer, you still got a little bit of snow. So here is the town of Imlil. We're just coming up to it. And behind us, up ahead just up there, that little peak bit that you can see, that is Mount Tupkal. Now Imlil, where we are now, is 1,800 meters above sea level. But Tupkal up there ahead is 4,167 meters. So that is a pretty tall mountain. Mount Tupkal, 4,167 meters. There you go. The tallest mountain in North Africa. I didn't really expect that Morocco had such crazy high mountains actually. I mean, 4,167 meters is really, really tall actually. So the Atlas Mountains, it's super impressive. Super impressive. Very impressive. So now we're just going to join back up with the mountain pass road that we just came from and make our way over to Tarudant. Lavi and the mountain. So now we have about 100 miles, just over 100 miles to reach Tarudant. But the GPS is telling us that it's going to take nearly four hours. So I guess it's 100 miles of windy mountain roads, which on a motorbike we are not complaining about. OK, we've come across what I think is a landslide because they're clearing the whole thing and they've cut it all away. So I'm pretty sure this was all, this all slid at some point recently. Yeah, I guess the whole cliff just kind of fell away into the valley. Crazy. Yeah. Wow. We're just stopping for a break here. A little water break, a little snack break in the middle of the mountains. Take a look. Nice views for the break. I'm just holding the umbrella because it's a little bit windy. So what do we have for our snack break? Some bread and cheese. Bread and cheese of course. More bread. Our leftover from Marrakesh yesterday. Yeah, exactly. As well some bread. So a lot of bread and a lot of cheese. Yes. We checked as well a little bit ahead and the road is absolutely crazy. It's just windy, windy, windy, windy. And we're still going over a pass, which is 2,100 meter high. And it's like for the next one hour, 45 minutes, just windy, windy, windy, windy. So it would be really tough, but very beautiful as well. Yeah, it's going to be a crazy road. The landscape is opening up and it's just epic in the mountains here. Yes, absolutely incredible. You can see over there like traditional houses and people are around, but it looks so remote in the middle of nowhere as well. People are just doing their thing here in the mountains in the hot, hot Atlas Mountains. Yes, yes, it's very hot. Or the bike temperature is 35. It's absolutely insane. It's really getting up there now. And we did start quite early as well, but time has gone on now. It's one o'clock. Wow, yeah. And now we're doing what we really don't want to do too much more as we head south, which is riding in the afternoon. And you can see 35 degrees. That's just, that's the limit I think. Yeah. I don't think we could ride in much hotter than this. That's hot. And the road stays windy. Yeah, exactly. You can't even get like a huge airflow going. You just can't get very fast because there's just too many bends. Yeah. Oh, we're climbing up and up and up, which is nice because the air temperature is cooling down a little bit. And also the views are just going crazy. We're like right, right up in the mountains now. Yeah, it looks so picturesque really. This road is definitely worth the ride. Yeah, it's a lot of twists and turns. Yes. You have to be patient with it, but it is worth it in the end. Yeah. Yeah, but it is absolutely crazy and sometimes a little bit scary. Don't look down. Yes. 2,100 meters. Look at that. Tisian test. The pass. Yeah, let's have a look at the view on the other side. Yes. Oh, look at this view. Whoa. Wow. Oh my God. Wow, we got such a massive view in front. That's insane. Wow, what an absolutely crazy view. Wow. That's absolutely an epic view. Yeah, and we've got some epic switchbacks coming. It looks like. Yeah. Wow. Woo. That's one crazy, crazy view from the pass. Yeah, absolutely crazy. Let's tell you what, this is going to be a pretty hairy way down. Look at that. Oh my God. The guy at the top told us that it was like seven kilometers and then it goes into like a good road with two lanes. But yeah, we've got a crazy way down to do first. Yes. Wow. Wow. Luckily, the road is not too busy. I don't know how they manage it when the road is busy because I can tell you here's not enough space for two cars. No, not like the big trucks that we see going up and down. Exactly. Yep. They better hope they pass each other in a good place, I tell you. And then the guy at the top, he was saying to us, yeah, there's some nice dirt roads that you can drive around as well. And we were like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We had taken a break from dirt roads for a bit after our experience last week. Oh my God. Yes. Here's some goats. Whoa, look at this. Wow. That's such a big view. I can't believe it. Yeah, me too. How flat it is in the middle there, hey? Wow. I think that's basically where we're heading down to. Yeah. Wow. We are finally on our way down the other side. We still have a few switchbacks, but they aren't as crazy as they were before. And we have two lanes on this road. Whee. So now we don't have to worry about a truck coming straight for us on every corner. And we've still got the awesome views in front as we make our way down into the valley. But yeah, I think it's gonna be plain sailing from here. This is beautiful. Yeah, it's beautiful. Finally made it into Terudant after a long, long, long drive. It's now four in the afternoon and we left Marrakech at around 8.30, 8.45. It took us the whole day. Oh yeah. And of course now we're down in the valley again. It's just mad hot of course. It's 34 degrees, but we are now just one mile from our accommodation for the night and the swimming pool that awaits us there. Yes. Oh, look, here's the walls of the old town. That looks nice. Of the city of Terudant. Wow. Yeah, beautiful. The hotel we are staying at is a Riyadh. So a traditional house and I think it might be in the old town. Yeah. I know we promised ourselves to not book any Riyadh in old towns again, but. Yeah, because of that hike we had to do into Fez and to carry all our stuff in and it just took so much time and it was just a lot of effort. Yeah. But yeah, I think actually we have booked a place inside the old town again. Yeah. It was an amazing deal on booking.com and they gave us like a room upgrade and a discount and everything and it ended up to be only like 20 euro or 22 euro per night. Yeah, instead of 40. And I think breakfast is included as well. Breakfast is included. That's pretty good. We're just living the high life now. Yeah. This is it. I'm a luxury guy now. This is what I need. Swimming pool, you know, room service, breakfast in bed. Anyway, look, we are actually heading now in. So let's check it out. But our place is really not far. It's like 0.2 miles. That's good. Okay. It says turn left at the alley. It says. Oh yeah. How about? Okay. And now it says, ah, it says right in here. Hold on a second. Just gonna do a little turn around. Just gonna go around here. Okay. All good. To the left. And then I'm just gonna go along. And the Riyadh should be if I go left at the end here and then left again, we should be there. Yeah. Look at this. Driving in the old town, eh? Not bad. Ooh, a bit of a step. Hup, hup. Sort of says down here, no? Yeah, it does says down there, yeah. Okay, I think that's okay. Yep, Riyadh, Binyada, there it is. Ah, perfect. Look at that, we drove right up to it. Nice. Good evening, guys. Look what we have here. We already went for a swim when we arrived straight away. So we have arrived at our place for the next couple of days. It's called Riyadh Binyada, and it's just epic. Look at this. The big, big palm here in the middle. That's crazy. That's amazing, yeah. So it's another traditional Riyadh, just like we had in Fez. It was a really hairy ride today. I'm glad that we made it happy in our life. It was a bit longer than we were actually expecting, wasn't it? It just kept going on and on and turn and turn and turn and turn and there was the sun and the heat and it's getting super hot these days. So it was like, yeah, it was on the limit of the sweatiness, I can tell you that. But the ride was definitely worth it. It was absolutely stunning, like the landscapes and the mountains and the people and just everything about it. It was amazing. Yeah, it's always beautiful to ride in the mountains with Bumblebee. It's just amazing. So that's it from us today. We hope you enjoyed the episode. If so, please give us a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel, comment below, share with your friends and family.
