Into the desert

#newyearnewtrip Ouarzazate is usually called the Gateway to the Sahara as it is a popular starting point for desert tours and camel treks. It is surrounded by sand dunes and mountain and while you sit on the camels, it’s an interesting way to take a tour around the dessert. Ait Benhaddou is a must see UNESCO World Heritage Site which is known for its mud-brick kasbahs. For local foods, try delicious tagines, couscous and mint tea as they are quite popular here.
