Ouarzazate is a city south of Morocco’s High Atlas mountains, known as a gateway to the Sahara Desert. Its huge Taourirt Kasbah, home to a 19th-century palace, has views over the rugged local landscape, which features in several movies. Northwest is the fortified red-earth city of Aït Ben Haddou. Northeast is the rocky Todra Gorge. A road winds southeast through the Draa Valley’s lush palm groves to the desert.
We wil go via Taddert
• Taddert is a very charming little place, a some hundred houses, divided by the main road, climbing up the mountain side, with only one meter wide streets between the brown walls. The whole place is very enticing for people with a good camera.
• This place rarely gets snow in winter time, but it never get real warm in summer time either. Buses stop here for an hour, but careful travellers with their own vehicles, take a bit more time than that. People up here in the mountains are friendly, but not too brave with strangers. Many of them can be standing bashfully some metres from you, hoping that you make contact first.
Tiz‐in‐Tichka pass (2260m).
• Tizi n'Tichka is a mountain pass in Morocco, linking the south-east of Marrakesh to the city of Ouarzazat through the High Atlas mountains. It lies above the great Marrakesh plains, and is a gateway to the Sahara Desert
