Ouarzazate Castle

There are many desert tour projects in the streets and hotels in Marrakech, and it is very convenient to travel the next day. At 7:30, I set foot on the trip to the desert gateway Ouarzazate. The scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed from wheat fields to wasteland, and a cluster of swarms of grasses hung on the ground like moss. It eventually became a bare hillside. Atlas stretched across northwestern Africa, separating the southwestern Mediterranean coast from the Sahara Desert, 2,400 kilometers. The name of the mountain is taken from the ancient Greek mythology of Atlas, the Hercules, who supported the sky with their shoulders. The ancient Greeks named it as the westernmost point of the world. From Marrakech to Ouarzazate, you have to cross the Atlas Mountains and turn the mountain road uphill. The old driver drove very fast, approaching twelve o'clock, and arrived at the first stop. This Kasabahs (castle) was a pass set up by Berbers four hundred years ago to control the trade route from southern Africa (black Africa south of the Sahara) to Venice's gold and salt bar. Built on the hillside, the castle controls the valley beneath. It has been abandoned. It has been rediscovered by European tourists in the 1960s and was rated a World Heritage Site in 1987. Director Spielger and others have made films here, such as Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator, making this increasingly obliterated village famous, hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every year. Ait ben Haddou also ranked second on the popular location list of "Power Game". There are only eight residents in the castle, most of them collapsed, no signs of past glory, and they are supported by some new houses built during filming. The villages built on the hillside are scattered and powerful. The outlines are like Manhattan in New York and Lujiazui in Shanghai. The house was built in the same way as the domestic dry bashing, first with grass and clay to form large bricks, then with palm tree beams and reed poles to lay the wedges, and finally with clay and lime chalk. In the hot desert, thick walls separated the heat from the outside. Walking in the aisle, the breeze was blowing.

First correction, close at 6 pm. Tickets 20dh. About an hour is enough. You can go up to see, please guide is also 20dh. Layers up, many rooms, some for storage of food, etc. On the castle overlooking the view of Warzat.

Warzazart Castle is a world heritage site in Morocco. This ancient castle has been around for hundreds of years. Many people come here as if they have come to the shooting site of the rights game. Very substitutional.

This Valzat castle is a medieval building

A castle with African characteristics, the rocks here are pink, the houses are mud buildings, and it is still very old! The food here is good, especially the fruit is very sweet, it should be the reason for the sunshine! Great.
