This trip navigates from Marrakech to the desert, passing by landmarks such as Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate - the south’s jewel adorned with captivating film studios; Kasbah Taourirt, the prior residence of Pasha Galoui, the river and the Draa Valley, filled with abundant kasbahs, the palm oasis yielding dates, the renowned village of Agdz and Zagora. The substantial earthen architectures viewed during the journey are split into dwellings serving as homes for the locals living in these unique kasbah villages where life has remained unvaried for ages. Zagora, also referred to as ‘the gateway of the desert,’ is the final locality before the palm oasis, where the path merges into an expanse of sand and stones that we sift through the dunes.
