 The point of departure for the road to the oasis, Ouarzazate is also the destination for a wealth of produce and craftwork. Every Sunday, in the souk, can be found an abundance of henna, roses, cumin and distilled wormwood together with Berber pottery, carved stone objects, blankets and the blus and golden yellow motifs of the famous Ouguita carpets. An ideal place to break your journey, Ouarzazate offers splendid hotel accomodation in which to relax. It is generous, welcoming and amazingly different. |

As you follow the course of the wadis, take a journey back into time: along the Kasbah trail in a natural setting that literally stuns the senses. 
Open your eyes wide to take in the gorges of Dadès. An enormous block of limestone slashed open by a sabre. In this rough, jagged universe, the kasbahs take on the mauve, red, tawny, purple colors of the rocks. The road becomes a dirt track, crosses the Dadès, winds it's way upwards above an awesome canyon to lead into another private world, where only the birds and wild sheep live.
