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. - LexicOrient
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. - Hip Guide
