there will be sightseeing to enjoy in nearby Ouarzazate including the Kasbah of Taourirt. According to oral traditions, the kasbah was first built in the 17th century by the Imzwarn, a powerful local family. The structure is made largely of rammed earth and mud-brick and is among the most impressive and best-preserved examples of its kind. The bulk of the building has three floors and is marked by large square or rectangular towers at its corners, the exteriors of which are decorated with geometric motifs and niches, which is typical of the architecture found in the traditionally Berber-dominated oasis regions.  Independent lunch.

 

Also explore the many souks that have many handicrafts available, such as pottery, wood carvings, rugs, and festive clothing.

 

Afterwards, depart for a tour into the grand Kasbah Ait Benhaddou. This is one of the most intriguing red earth castles lining the ancient Route of the Kasbahs and the most spectacular fortress in the south of Morocco. It has served as decor for many films like “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Jesus of Nazareth” and “Game of Thrones” among many others.
