Ouarzazate

From Morocco
After yesterday's trip to Casablanca we decided to take a bus trip to Ouarzazate.

We travelled over the Atlas Mountains, taking the highest pass in Morocco, 2,200 m. It was quite cold up there and the air was quite thin (water bottles opened in the mountains were flattened on the other side). We made plenty of stops to photograph the picturesque views.

From Morocco
On the other side we saw rocky desert with little towns built around casbahs. We had lunch at a nice little place in Ouarzazate overlooking the casbah. We only had time for a quick tour of the medina (the old city) before heading back over those windy mountain passes to Marrakech.
