Looking down on the High Atlas Mountains, travelling North from Ouarzazate. They should be snow-capped by now, but it's not unheard of.
Fingers crossed for a change in conditions next month.
If you're planning a trip to the Sahara, and are happy to bypass Marrakech or Fes (on at least one/both of the travel days), we recommend using Ouarzazate airport as one of your transit points. Ouarzazate is connected to major hubs in Europe (UK, Spain, France, Portugal), as well as domestically.
From Ouarzazate, you can travel down to Mhamid El Ghozlane for desert hikes and/or onward camping trips to Erg Chigaga dunes.
Travel by public transport, with a private driver, or rent a car. We can provide details for all options.
And, if nothing else, you get to appreciate the scale of the Atlas peaks and wonder at how people live there.
