Ouarzazate
is a city in southern Morocco that is known as the gateway
to the desert. Situated at the meeting of the valleys
of the wadi and Ouarzazate Oued Dades (from the High Atlas)
that make up the Wadi Draa and downstream of their confluence,
it is the hub of a vast region of southern Morocco . Ouarzazate
evokes both the southern foothills of the High Atlas and
the nearby desert. His countless casbahs adobe, mountains
and arid plains, valleys and lush oasis of palm groves
and villages of red earth or ocher are the charm of this
region and give it a tourist attraction.
