One-minute guides
Outstanding
There is a strange and empty feeling to
Ouarzazate, but the kasbah stands out as an exquisite
example of how to take care of one's heritage with style. -

Breathtaking
A breath-takingly and elusively varied setting: burning sands,
snowy peaks, palm groves and verdant oases ... the idyllic wonder of a town from
another age. - Mincom-Ilaycom
Scenic
A glimpse of times gone by in the ruins of ancient kasbahs ...
and a good place to stock up on provisions for desert treks. -
