It is the best preserved and most important in Morocco and has been used as a set for many Hollywood films. Its houses, with centuries of history, rise along the slopes of a hill, creating a feeling of stepping back in time, a labyrinth of clay and stone streets, passages… We will stroll until lunch and then head to Ouarzazate and afterwards to the Valley of Roses to spend the night.
