You can make a big movie without showing your face, the right game is punctured, the most beautiful village in Morocco - Ait Ben Haddou village like my photo, remember to pay attention to with the game of power The return of the sixth season, the American fans began to boil again, including the cat. In February 2019, I came here with a small partner on several roads: Ouarzazate, Morocco, Ait Benben Ait Ben Haddou - listed in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1987, also known as "the most beautiful village in Morocco". Located in the desert oasis of southern Morocco, in the province of Ouarzat, is a Casbah-style complex built on a hill. The river flows through the village, and the houses and granaries are red clay. The mud bricks were made and the whole building was like a red fortress. How to get there: You can sign up for a desert private group in Morocco, or a group of tourists, which will contain this famous attraction. The best shooting point: 1. Follow the guide to the village, there are many colorful shops all the way, just at the door of which store is a large piece 2. On the mountain In front of the bridge, on the bridge, visually far away, each has a feel 3. The half-mountain can overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city, whether it is a back shot or a side face will be beautiful 4. Close to the hole in the top of the mountain, you can sit on the stone and look down on the stone. It is beautiful enough without showing your face.

The place where the native Berbers live in Morocco Ait Benbenha is the location for many films such as "The Game of Rights" and "The Action of the Red Sea". The earthy red building, the ancient village is home to Moroccan natives. Berber. There are some nice small shops in the village. If you have time, you can walk slowly in the village. It is worth scouring slowly.

#Cola# [Review 10] The third city of Morocco - Ouarzazate Ouarzazate is located in southeastern Morocco, Ait Benhaddou is one of the very well preserved, in the gradual The ancient city built on the pink hills, under the city is a large circle of palm trees and a river. Entered the ancient city, we were very fortunate to find a very capricious terrace (the owner decided to open and not open). I drank the tea from the carpet stall owner and talked for a long time. Looking down from the terrace to the city, it was a very different view from the time I just looked up on the river bed. It was very spectacular. In addition to the 'North African Commodity Market' handicrafts that occasionally let me off the show, caramel-colored buildings, pink mountains, blue skies, yellow deserts, and low-saturation plants are paired together. The color tone can only be the masterpiece of God. If the owner of the terrace does not open the door, you can knock on the door and tell him that you want to buy a carpet, the owner will invite you to go upstairs! Going upstairs, you can take pictures casually (but the carpet is also a little smaller than the 500-plus 2 2k) The boss loves to smoke, and according to him, it is difficult to buy here, seeing the photographers in the same trade have smoke Just blinking eyes, students who don't want to buy a stall can also try to bribe the boss with a pack of cigarettes very dry! Remember to apply sunscreen! When you are a male person, take a picture and remember to keep a distance. Try not to be too close to avoid being small and cheap (the building is very tight)

On the way to Ouarzazate to the Dades Canyon, there will be a small town called El-Kella-M'gouna. This is the most central part of the Rose Valley. This is not a fake rose valley. There are many rose fields within the radius of the town of M'gouna. These rose fields are hidden on both sides of the road, Damascus Rose. The world's most recognized variety of roses. Many flower fields are private, and the flower fields are not very obvious. We accidentally parked on the road. We wanted to ask the locals where there was a flower field. We saw a group of Moroccan women coming slowly from the depths of the haystacks. They only said simple French, I We can only explain with them by hand, we are looking for shredded pork, shredded pork! Rose! The miracle happened at this moment. If there is God help, she will pick up a freshly picked rose from the back of the cloth bag. I can only ask if she can face it. Taking a picture of the rose, she nodded and agreed, and the women around her smiled at us. When I was about to take pictures of the flowers in the grass, she made another act that surprised me, took the cloth bag on her body, and twisted it into a piece of cloth, padded on the floor, and several other women. I poured a lot of roses from the bags in their backs and put them on the cloth. In order to give me a photo prop, I gave me the whole bag of roses.

After going to Morocco, I realized that there are so many movies in Morocco, and each is a Hollywood blockbuster! The Hotel Oscar is located next to the Atlas Studios film studio, where guests can visit for free. It offers an outdoor pool and rooms with typical Moroccan dcor. We are only going to the pool here with the group time. It is recommended to check it out. The wall is a movie filmed in Morocco in recent years!

In 1987, UNESCO listed Ait Ben Haddou as a cultural heritage on the World Heritage List. This ancient village was built in the 8th century and consists of six buildings that have become "Casbah". We also went to visit the houses where the locals lived. Their buildings have no windows, and the lighting is based on the sunlight that the corridors penetrate. Many buildings are three stories, the bottom is the stable, the second is the granary, the third is the residence, and the scenery from the third floor is super beautiful. I really like this ancient village with a sense of vicissitudes. It is said that I have shot more than 20 Hollywood blockbusters here. When we went, it was morning. There were very few people in the whole village. We were a group in the whole village. After the afternoon, we were all people. When we left the village, we could see the mountains from the distance. The feeling of being a person is super high. If you want to visit, it is recommended to be early.

If it is counter-clockwise into the Sahara Desert, then Ouarzazate is another gate of the Sahara Desert. With its unique North African style and desert landscape, Ouarzazate attracts tourists from all over the world and also won The favor of the Western film crew has become one of the world's most famous filming locations. We saw "Gladiator", "Four Feathers", "Finding Gems", "Cleopatra", "Saharan Love", "Nile Gem", "Lawrence of Arabia", "Spy Game", etc. Famous blockbusters are filmed here. This filming base has everything from ancient China to ancient Rome.

We arrived at the Red Sea Action, where the dragons stopped before the departure of the dragons. This ancient city in southern Morocco was once an important gateway to ancient times. Although it is almost completely deserted, it has been fairly complete and even won The title of the most beautiful village in Morocco. This ancient city was built using Moroccan terracotta bricks. Although the castle is built like a sand-filled fortress on the beach, the whole city is quite large and stable. It is no wonder that it was enough to resist foreign enemies in ancient times. This magnificent ancient city, which has been listed as a historical and cultural relic, not only has a very attractive appearance, but also has its own characteristics. It can ride across the moat and visit local indigenous people.

The ancient villages that can be regarded as Xanadu in the impression are mostly hidden between the green mountains and the green waters. They have quaint village roads, old constructions, and people who live without the world. But in the Gobi Oasis on the edge of the Sahara Desert, in the depths of the desert, there are many Borbers who live on the desert. An oasis will form in the desert where the dark river emerges from the ground. The oasis grows with lush date palms. The Berbers open up farmland in the date palm, raise camels, and build houses with Gobi sand as building materials. Slowly form a village. In the village, you can experience the life of the Berbers in the Gobi. During the day, the camels are stocked on the Gobi Desert. At night, the camels are taken back and live a simple and happy life.

It took about 5 hours to cross the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech. In the afternoon, I came to the village of Ayut Ben Haddou, which was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations in 1987. The ancient castle village, which is built in the 12th century, is said to be built in the 12th century. It is a mountain village castle built by Berbers to defend the enemy. The house is adjacent to the mountain, with stone steps twisted and inserted. Moreover, the houses are made of mud bricks made of local red clay. The mud bricks also erected the city walls and built up the arrow tower. The earthen architecture here feels cool in the summer and warm in the winter, so the people who live here feel very special, even if they are in a very poor place, they still feel that it is not difficult. . However, many people are very inconvenient because of the traffic here, and the location here is far away, so they are moving away from here, leaving only some craftsmen, still using their traditional skills to tell us that the time here is very old. The most beautiful time here is probably sunset time. All the earth colors here will become the best looking golden color. The sunset glow here gives us the feeling of being generous. This extremely exotic place attracts everyone who wants to explore the desert, and stays in the Sahara for a few days.

Ouarzazate is home to Moroccan indigenous people and is a city of Morocco in the north of Africa. It is under the jurisdiction of the Sousse-Massa-Dra area and is located south of the Atlas Mountains at an altitude of 1

Ouarzazate is a small town on the edge of the Sahara Desert and the earliest home of the Moroccan indigenous Berbers. Because it is located at the gateway to the Western Sahara Desert, it is also known as the gate of the desert. "Tongtian Tower", "Prince of Persia: The Sand of Time" and "Sex and the City 2" have all been photographed here. Recently, the relatively hot domestic movie "Red Sea" is also here. The locals set up a movie city along the way, a bit like the Moroccan Hengdian.

The village of Ait Ben Haddou is located in a small village in the Atlas Mountains in southern Morocco. The village was built in the 8th century AD and is a must-see village in the desert. It is also the most representative ancient of the Berbers in Morocco. The village is known as the most beautiful ancient village in Morocco. In this ancient village, the red houses and the earthen walls are almost connected, and this also expresses the architectural characteristics of defensive residents. UNESCO put it on the World Heritage List in 1987. It is also the shooting place of many Hollywood directors, where more than 20 Hollywood blockbusters, such as "Lawrence of Arabia", "The Treasure of the Nile", "Mummy" and so on. Therefore, it is a popular local attraction and there are quite a lot of tourists. There is an ancient city in Ebenhad in Marrakech. The whole ancient city is made up of mud. In the early days, it was a village of Berbers of the original Moroccan inhabitants, backed by the Atlas Mountains, facing It is a desert oasis. In such a beautiful environment, many movies are filmed here. In order to resist the harassment of bandits, local indigenous people built tall fortresses, watch towers and arrow towers. Time flies, the hero goes! The fortress was only eroded by time, and the young man continued to go out to make a living. The village is getting old every day and there are fewer and fewer things to see. Such a building structure is too interesting. The households are not far apart, but they are not on a plane. The more you see the heights, the more you climb to the top! An ancient village can be protected until now, and you can't help but admire!

Ait Ben Haddou's fortified village gobi beach is built on the mountain. There is a red-yellow earthen village, which looks like a sand castle on the beach. The village of Ait-ben-haddou was included in the United Nations World Heritage Site in 1987 and is also the village of Zui in Moroccan. This Quartet is a representative of the Kasbah building, an excellent defensive tower and a typical former Sahara resident. There are many houses built in the defensive wall, and there are also an arrow tower for auxiliary defense. Ait Ben Haddou, located in the province of Ouarzazate, is a classic example of architecture in southern Morocco. Many people inevitably find it familiar, and they have all found this familiar trace in a series of Hollywood blockbusters such as "Game of Thrones" and "Mummy". The favor of the big directors has made this an African Hengdian. Some people have laughed and said that every villager here may have been a group performer, and he is deeply impressed. To this day, there are still six Berber Aboriginal people living here, selling handmade carpets and pottery for a living. All the way to the summit is a variety of goods that make people linger, slowing down the pace of visitors.

We really lived in a hundred-year-old castle that was not open to traffic, no electricity, no access to the Internet, travel by donkeys, lighting by candle, and all use red clay! The castle is built in the village of Ait Ben Haddou in southern Morocco. The entire village is listed as a World Heritage Site and is also known as the most beautiful village in Morocco. More than 20 Hollywood blockbusters have been filmed here, like "Mummy" and "Gladiator". Our hotel, Kasbah-tebi Castle, is the most magnificent one in the village. It is a layer of earthen walls. The soil is not easy to conduct heat, it can be warm in winter and cool in summer. The roof is Bitter wood, used to repel mosquitoes, paintings and tapestries on the walls are all handmade. Great early in the morning, the glare of the sun is infiltrated all over the body, the sky blue is completely thorough, the Muhammad brothers run the castle, the brother serves the guests in the store, the younger brother runs outside to do the market and do a little Buying and selling. Everything was quiet, palm trees were swinging branches and leaves, and the curtains were smashed by the wind.

Ouarzazate is a city in the north of Africa, Morocco, south of the Atlas Mountains, at an altitude of 1
