ourzazate


We took a very early plane out of fez this morning to Ourzazate in the mid atlas. Oddly enough, this town has turned into something of a film making destinatin and a lot of desert-y or middle eastern movies have gotten made here, like "kingdom of heaven", "alexander" etc. stopped in at the studios to seee replicas of what we saw in egypt, and then on to a nearby casbah (sort of fortified village - see pic) where a lot of berber people still live. Ended up with another sword and ranee with another neckless - I am sensing a trend here... we're planning on heading further south tomorrow to spend some more time in the desert after our great experience in siwa
