Zagora | en-route to Atlas Mountains.

Our Moroccan excursion's continued by departure in the crack of the dawn by minivan from Marrakesh, towards the Haut Atlas via the col of Tizi n'Tichka (at an altitude of 2260m) going through Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah ; visited the fortified villageís Kasbah. Had lunch on the spot.The road to Zagora was the winding one. In the afternoon we continued towards Ouarzazate to Zagora by way of the Anti-Atlas, the Berber village of Agdez and the Draa Valley with its procession of palm trees.

We arrived at the Sahara outpost at 6:30 at night (pitch dark) and mounted a camel for a 1 mile walk into the sand to the preset tent grouping. Dinner and night in bivouac under canvas. We were grouped together outside the tent and some drum beating. It was funny when I had to pee and asked the local where was the toilet and he spontaneously says ' the toilet is everywhere' then we were burst into laughs.
