Ouarzazate is relatively small (~ 60,000 apartments) and for Morocco, a quiet town, built mainly along the main road – Mohammed F Warzat is 1135 meters high. Its name derives from the Amazigh expression “without noise” or “without confusion”. In the past, Warzazat was a crossroads for African traders seeking access to cities in northern Morocco and Europe. During the French period, Ouarzazate developed considerably as a garrison city and administrative center. this city is the largest one in the Moroccan Sahara desert
Dades Gorge
As the local saying goes, the wind has a son who lives in Boumalne, which it rips down to visit it in winter. Sitting in the shadow of the rain in the central atlas, Dades Gorge presents an exciting landscape: ancient mountains with a red and rusty purple color stripped back to the tortuous layers and sinuous rock formations. The current of water flows in the spring in the valley, where irrigation channels lead them into wheat fields and orchards of figs, almond trees, and olive trees. A series of ruins and palaces (fortified villages) line the valley in the Berber villages of Ait Yul, Aite al-Arabi, Aet Udinar, Aet Ovie, and Aet Tukhsin.
Merzouga Desert
Life in Merzouga revolves around the nearby desert, and the most authentic way to experience it is on the back of a camel. Many operators offer the opportunity to participate in beauty safaris on the dunes. Many of these tours include overnight stays in a desert camp, or in a traditional barbarian village. The first presents a unique love story of a night under a canvas under the desert stars. While the latter allows you to enjoy unique barbaric cuisine, music, and culture. Trips vary greatly in cost and convenience, so make sure you buy before you decide on the best option for you.
The Ziz Valley

Cedar Forest
This 6 Days from Marrakech Desert Tour to Casablanca will take you to discover the Cedar forest, It is the most popular place in the city and where tourist activity is concentrated in the area. This forest is a living reflection of past centuries, and until a few years ago it was there that the famous Gouraud Great Cedar, the largest thousand-year rice in the region, stood.
In this jungle, you can find souvenir shops, gifts, and market stalls known as peanuts. The reason for these places is the hundreds of Gibraltar monkeys living in this region. Tourists don’t spend much time playing with them and giving them peanuts as a reward.
Although very small, it is a great place to learn if you are traveling to other parts of Morocco like Fez and want to rest and see other places. Please enjoy the offer of Day Trips from Fes where you can learn about Azrou and other areas.
