    Berber Pharmacy, Ouarzazate,

    After visiting Zagora for a night in the desert/ camel ride,as part of our tour, we returned briefly to Ouarzazate, and stopped off at this herbalist/berber pharmacy.

    I'm afraid my heart sank- I'd 'done my 'apprenticeship' of Berber pharmacies' during my visits to Marrakesh, where I'd become au fait with the routine/chat involved with attempting to sell the various herbs, spices, oils etc. and I'd got a stock of the aforementioned back home in the UK!

    However, for most of my fellow travellers, this was their 1st experience, so I decided to 'grin and bear it'

    Yes, he had the usual wares, however, his demonstration was added to by applying kohl eyeliner and berber markings to a couple of our group, and his imaginative use of a gourd!!!

    I didn't buy anything, but I did enjoy his sales patter/technique, and quite a few of our party did purchase goods.

    (Please see my Marrakesh, tips for more info re Berber Pharmacies)

    An array of land formations and geographics along the various approaches to the town, makes it a rather picturesque and interesting area to travel around and through.

    Entering the kasbah villages, you will surely get lots of attention from the local children. This picture was taken in Oulad Driss, south of Zagora

    Sand dunes between Zagora and

    by jacobzoethout
    Between Mhamid and Foum Zguid, it is an area for 4WD and for camels. The sand dunes in between the two villages are beautiful. We spent the night in a nomad tent next to these sand dunes.

    Another example of a Kasbah or fortified defensive palace or home. Telouet is further into the Atlas than the better known Ait Ben Haddou.

    Warning: It can snow in the mountains in winter!!!

    Entrance of the filmstudio

    It's a filmstudio almost in the desert and is famous for some internationnaly known movies that were filmed there.
    When you talk to someone in Ourzazate, believe him when he says he acted in one of the movies. Hiring local people is very good and cheap for the foreign companies...
    When we were there, they just finished Kingdom of Heaven

    Probably one the most beautiful Kasbah you will see.

    This Kasbah with exceptional luminosity, natural decorations and labour cost defying any competition: the film-makers precipitate, and follow one another in the area of Ouarzazate.
