Trip to Morocco


Day 8 - Saturday, January 9, 2023 - Arfoud to Ouarzazate

Up and out by 8:30 and on to Quarzazte (Was za zate)(Wha is that). There was a lot of driving again today. We are taking the Tinjdad Rd. to Tinghir. We made numerous stops to enjoy the panoramic views along the way to the Todgha Gorge. The walls are 800 feet tall. We also saw the Dades Valley and traveled the road of a thousand kasbahs. We ate lunch in Tinghir and made a pit stop at a store that sold rose water and other creams. There is a yearly rose festival in the Meggouna Valley also called the valley of the roses. Our final visit on today's itinerary was to the Taourit village which was constructed in the 12th century in Oaurzazate. On to the hotel for dinner and an early bedtime.
