Western Sahara 
 
SUMMARY
The Western Sahara is a disputed territory under Moroccan military
jurisdiction. Although currently stable, tourism is not actively
encouraged and facilities are very limited. 
SAFETY AND SECURITY
The territory of the Western Sahara is disputed between Morocco and
the Polisario Front, and the United Kingdom regards sovereignty as
undetermined. There has been a UN-monitored cease fire in the
territory since 1991. But a return to fighting cannot be ruled out and
the Polisario Front issues periodic threats to resume hostilities. 
There are thousands of unexploded mines in the Western Sahara, and
occasional reports of fatal explosions. Visitors should avoid driving
off road. Care should also be taken on main roads especially when
driving in more remote areas. 
The last violent demonstrations across the territory's major towns
were in 2000. There have been smaller demonstrations in Laayoune
occasionally since then. 
LOCAL TRAVEL
The area to the south of Tan-Tan (Morocco) is under Moroccan military
jurisdiction. Travel is restricted and while organised groups are
generally permitted, independent overland travellers should be aware
that they could be turned back at the border. 
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Visitors planning to travel in the region should seek information on
clearance requirements from the Moroccan Embassy, 49 Queen’s Gate
Gardens, London, SW7 5NE; (tel: 020 7581 5001/5). 
HEALTH
Medical facilities are generally good in the main cities -all have
hospitals, clinics and pharmacies. For more sophisticated medical
treatment (scans etc) travellers need to go to a major centre in
Morocco (eg Agadir, Casablanca or Rabat). Medical facilities are
almost non-existent in desert areas.

Ma che bella scoperta! E' dagli anni '70, da quando cioč la Spagna
lasciň le colonie nel nordafrica ed il Marocco si appropriň del Sahara
Occidentale, che č in atto una continua guerriglia dei sahariani per
creare una loro repubblica indipendente.
