Ouarzazate is spread over a high desert plateau. Starting at the "road of a thousand casbahs" , an itinerary links a se ries of hamlets formed of little stone houses, their roofs sprinkled with corncobs. The path crosses the land of the famous Glaoua tribe, where you can see fortified villages from an earlier age. Taddert, Tizi N'Tichka, Irounen, Telouet and many others astound with their inherent age-old wisdom.

There, in the middle of the desert, the only things that grow are palaces. with the earth their only building material, the casbahs Idiscreetly melt into an atypical decor. The black shadows of the palm trees wave on the walls. The wadi waters flow slow I y along. The Atlas si lent I y dominates the Dades valley. The Berber heritage is simply ours to appreciate.
