Leaving Marrakech behind and begin the drive across the High Atlas Mountains and berber villages. The High Atlas mountains are the tallest mountain range in North Africa; a series of jagged, impressive peaks that split the country east to west. We travel through this impressive scenery following one of the old trade routes of the Trans-Saharan. Arriving to the UNESCO World Heritage site and Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou. Of all the remaining Kasbahs in Morocco. The Kasbah still houses a few families, but many now live in the adjacent village. Like many of the earthen built fortresses in Ouarzazate, Aït Ben Haddou has been used in many film and television productions like Gladiator, Babel, and Game of Thrones. where we will have a walking tour to visit the stunning, ancient Kasbah. Make your way across the road of 1000 Kasbahs to Ouarzazate famous for its film studios then to Draa Valley where the oxidized red stone that make up the berber villages and the walls replaces the swirling pink of the countryside. The mud buildings traipse up the hillside and provide breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery. the small town of Zagora once had exiting kasbahs due to its importance along the trade route with the famous city of Timbuktu. The aroma of dates and almonds drift from the trees. Camels pass by the rolling foothills nearby. Our stop is brief before you hop on your dromedary and venture out into the depths of the Sahara Desert. The landscape turns from rugged flat land to rolling dunes in the distance. The scenery explains that you have arrived at the edges of the Sahara, a shape-shifting landscape of sand dunes stretching for miles. When the sun begins to set, you find an ethereal glow to the dunes, cast in shades of pink, purple, and orange. The stars shimmer in the night sky. You settle into your Berber camp with locals, happy to share the legend of the Sahara around a camp fire with drums sounds of berber blue men playing their desert rythems.
