Moroccan bike rally touts tolerance and openness
2007-07-13
The 4th Moroccans of the World Biking Rally, organised this year under the slogan "Together on the Road to Tolerance and Openness", set off today from Tangiers. Organised by the Ministry for Moroccan Communities Abroad, the rally will cover 1600km along a route from Tangiers to Casablanca, passing though Ksar es Sghir, Tetouan, Chefchaouen, Wazan, Meknes, Khenifra, Bani Malal, Marrakesh, Essaouira, Asfi and El-Jadida, ending up in Casablanca. A statement issued by the Ministry indicated that the selection of Tangiers as the rally's starting point arose from Moroccan expats' desire to support the city's candidature as host of the International Exhibition in 2012.
