The Atlas mountains -just a lunch place in Ouarzazate

 

Ouarzazate -literally 'noiselessly' and called 'The door of the desert'- is located on an elevation of 1160 metres (3810ft) in the middle of a bare plateau, south of the High Atlas mountains. To the south of the town is the desert. The town is chiefly inhabited by Berbers, who constructed many of the prominent kasbahs and buildings for which the area is known for.
