Ouarzazate et Aït Ben-HaddouOuarzazate is the most developed city South of the Atlas and gets its status for the presence of the film industry and cinema studios (that you can actually visit), and for the local base of several travel agencies in Morocco. Ouarzazate offers just a few interesting places to visit but the UNESCO restored Taourirt Kasbah is very nice to visit. This is the biggest Glaoui Kasbah in the region. You will also visit the Old Mellah or the Jewish quarter. Dades Valley and CanyonsDades Valley and Canyons are indeed a great experience in South Morocco. The Dades Valley spreads from the High Atlas to the Jbel Saghrou range in the South. This is the region of the biggest Oasis in the South and also the route of the “ Thousand Kasbahs ”. Tinerhir and the Gorges du TodraTinerhir is a mining bustling town that serves tourism for the Gorges du Todra and the nearby “palmeraies”. These valleys near by are supposed to be on the top rank in the world for the most quantity of palm trees per square metre. Palm trees along huge mountains and Kasbahs all the way to the breth taking Gorges du Todra. Gorges to Todra are a fabulous Canyons and rock fault diving the High Atlas from the Jbel Saghrou where its highest point gets up to 300m in which you can pass right on the bottom. This pink rose and strong ochre coloured rock formation offers unforgettable views. Erfoud and RissaniErfoud and Rissani are the 2 well known “doors of Sahara”. Erfoud is a active small town and is the first entrance to the desert tracks to head to the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Erfoud offers several sceneries from the Jbel Erfoud to the Tafilalet region and also several Fossil carriers a few kilometres distance. Merzouga and Erg ChebbiMerzouga is a small Saharan Berber village located right on the bottom of the dunes of Erg Chebbi and has been in the last few years one of the highlights of Saharan destinations around North Africa. Erg Chebbi Dunes are located a few kilometers away from the border with Algeria and have a special unique energy.A trip to Morocco without visiting Erg Chebbi is somehow incomplete. The biggest dune of Erg Chebbi goes as high as 250m and its strong red colored sand provides one of the most fantastic sceneries in Africa. Our visit to these dunes include several villages around the dunes, Hamada do Guir, Lost Oasis, Desert lakes with pink flamingos, Fossil Rock Carriers and Oasis Camel trips into the dunes. Zagora and TamegrouteZagora is a desert town situated some hundred Km south of Ouarzazate. Zagora is mainly a stop for those heading southwards and wishing to visit the dunes of Tinfou. The dunes of Tinfou are famous for their golden colour and offer an amazing view. Tamegroute was once an important religious and teaching center for the southern areas of Vallée du Draa and the Sahara. The town is made up of a cluster of ksars, fortified villages and townhouses. It has an interesting underground village. Tamegroute hosts an important Kuranic library as well as a Zawiya (religious brotherhood). Note: The order of the visit changes and depends on your arrival point.
