Sorry I can't help. I flew in Ouarzazate (Morocco) an two occasions,
but there are no operations: you need to bring your self-launching
sailplane. I know about the gliding centre in BeniMellal (IIRC), but I
haven't been there.

On the other hand, would you share your knowledge of gliding
activities in Tunisia and Egypt?

thank you

The gliding centre at Beni Mellal is the one I have heard off in Morrocco
-do you know if a foreigh national can fly in a 2 seater there ? that is
all I am interested in. I am trying to make contact with them

In Tunusia there is theFederal Gliding Centre at Jebel Rassas, 25kms from
Tunis - I believe they are still in existance and am tyring to make contact
with them as well.

I believe there are a number of gliding operations in Eygpt -even videos on
youtube -I am awaiting to hera from the Eygptian Aero Club.


I was wondering if there is any gliding in western africa -i seemed to
remeber reading about Hannah Reisch being involved in setting up gliding in
the 60's in Nigeria? I think
