From the movies to the Dades Gorge, October 24

After we check out from the lovely Berber Palace, we visit the Kasbah in Ouarzazate. This looks like a modern city with wide streets, street lights, and mostly sand colored buildings. The Kasbah was owned by an important Berber leader, Thami El Glaoui. Berbers are the indigenous people of Morocco. The Arabs came in the 700s. This cannon changed the history of Morocco.

Beautiful carved ceiling

Bob hikes the Dades Gorge.

Liz views it from up high.

Musicians welcome us back to the Xaluca hotel in Boumaine Dades where we had lunch. Now we will spend the night before heading to the eastern Sahara.

 

We have learned to like the mint tea, often offered to us upon returning from our daily trek!
