In Ouarzazate, endowed with splendid and luxurious hotels, you can mark a break before venturing into the wilderness where all kinds of sensations decorate the trip. We will discover with amazement Kelâa M'gouna of the most beautiful rose gardens in the valley, the ancient Kasbah Glaoui balanced on a rock, the Dades gorges, huge limestone block cut of a saber . Ziz Valley, it punctuates the road to the desert. The Oued Ziz, lined with tall palm trees from which emerge ksours and sublime Kasbah IFRI form an emerald sheet that offers a dazzling spectacle. Once through the door Erfoud is the desert in all its nakedness and splendor.
Between Ouarzazate and Marrakech, the High Atlas, which can be seen in the distance during the descent of Er Rachidia to Ouarzazate, a natural barrier. The road passes through one borrows somehow, but moisture-laden winds and ocean freshness, do not succeed. Therefore, when we take the road to Marrakech, one of a semi-arid desert first 2260 m passes through a landscape of high altitude, culminating in the Tizi-n-Tichka (above sea level), and then, as one descends to Marrakech palm trees and greenery were rediscovered. The air is warmer and more humid.
