There are many desert tour introductions on the streets and hotels in Marrakech, which is very convenient for traveling the next day. At 7:30, we set off for the journey to Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert. The scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed from wheat fields to wastelands, with clusters of weeds crawling on the ground like moss. Finally, it became a bare hillside. The Atlas Mountains stretch across northwest Africa, separating the southwestern Mediterranean coastal area from the Sahara Desert, winding for 2,400 kilometers. The name of the mountain range is taken from Atlas, the Hercules who supported the sky with his shoulders in ancient Greek mythology. The ancient Greeks named it after this, meaning that this is the westernmost end of the world. From Marrakech to Ouarzazate, you have to cross the Atlas Mountains, and the winding mountain road turns uphill all the way. The old driver drove the car very fast, and arrived at the first stop, Ait ben Haddou, at nearly twelve o'clock. This Kasabahs (castle) was a pass established by the Berbers four hundred years ago to control the golden salt trade route from South Africa (black Africa south of the Sahara Desert) to Venice. The castle is built on a hill by the river, controlling the valley below. It was originally abandoned. It was rediscovered by European tourists in the 1960s and was named a World Heritage Site in 1987. Director Spiegel and others have filmed movies here, such as "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Gladiator", which made this increasingly forgotten village famous, and hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every year. Ait ben Haddou is also ranked second in the list of popular locations for "Game of Thrones". There are only eight households in the castle now, and most of the houses have collapsed, with no signs of their former glory. They rely on some new houses built during the filming to support the scene. The village built on the hillside is staggered and quite imposing. The outline is like Manhattan in New York and Lujiazui in Shanghai. The construction of the houses here is the same as the dry-rammed earth in China. First, straw and clay are rammed into large bricks and piled up to form walls. Then, beams made of palm trunks and rafters made of reeds are laid on top, and finally, clay and limestone roofs (Lime Chalk) are laid. In the hot desert, the thick walls separate the heat outside. Walking in the corridor, there is a cool breeze.

【Ait Ben Haddou】The ancient city is located in Ouarzazate, Morocco, in an oasis on the edge of the Sahara Desert. The entire castle is composed of traditional Moroccan mud houses, mostly built with a mixture of licorice and terracotta. The appearance is slightly rough, but at a glance outside the ancient city, you can be shocked by its spectacular and sacred pattern. As early as 1987, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage. Walking into the ancient city, you will find that these golden red adobe castles and turrets seem to have drilled out from the ground, which are stunning and dramatic. People can't help but admire the local construction technology, especially under the sunlight, these castles are even more charming. This place not only attracts tourists from all over the world, but also Hollywood directors favor this charming ancient city. Many movies that are popular with movie fans around the world have been filmed here, including "The Lost Tomb", "Star Wars Prequel", "Mission Impossible V", etc., so the ancient city of Haddou has also won the title of Hollywood in North Africa and has become a holy place for many movie lovers. Time: 8:00-19:00 Address: Aït Benhaddou, Morocco

The scenery here is very similar to the Antelope Canyon rocks in the United States, with layers of layers under the sunlight. In addition, there is an underground river here, which flows all year round and you can wade in the water, which is very interesting.

Marrakech has a history of more than 900 years Also known as the Red Castle Morocco's leading tourist destination Djemaa El Fna Square The most important landmark In 2001, it was listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site During the day, various vendors and jugglers gather in the square. Very noisy and chaotic After evening Many night market stalls were set up in the center of the square White smoke mixed with the fragrance of spices filled the air The square instantly became a food paradise for foodies~

This has been my favorite tourist destination in Marrakech. More peaceful than the YSL garden and good place to learn about the history and traditional decorating styles of Morocco

Five years ago, when I was on a business trip to Morocco, I had some free time and went with friends for 1-2 days. The night view was great and the local food was good at a low price at the night market.
