Morocco - South - Ouarzazate - hotels, kasbahs, skoura - REDISCOVER THE WORLD - MOROCCO

Ouarzazate is the first town most people see after crossing the High Atlas and is the unofficial capital of the south of Morocco. Formerly a Foreign Legion outpost in the southern Kasbah region, it has been notably used as a location backdrop by many epic films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Jesus of Nazareth. An incredible day out from Marrakech or useful as a staging post for adventures further south in the Sahara, the Todra and Dades Gorges and the many oases of the South.

As with many other towns in Morocco, Ouarzazate has an old town with its maze of narrow streets and a new town where most of the hotels are located. The Kasbah Taourirt is well worth a visit.

Karam Palace (4) (rooms from £22 pppn)*	Berbere Palace(5) (rooms from £58 pppn)*	Kenzi Azghor (4) (rooms fr. £27 pppn)*
The Karam Palace is great value for a 4* hotel and is ideally located closest to the main sights of Ouarzazate. Friendly staff and a low-rise design make for a peaceful and relaxing place to stay.	The only 5* hotel in the south of Morocco, the Berbere Palace is built in kasbah style and many rooms are located in the quiet gardens.	The Azghor Hotel is a traditional style hotel which feels like a small kasbah. Locted close to main sights with a large pool and good quality rooms.

Riad / Tichka Salam (4/3) rooms from £21 pppn	Dar Daif rooms from £23 pppn	Les Tourmalines rooms from £33 pppn
The Salam Hotels are close to the centre of Ouarzazate, located in a quiet area overlooking the river. Great value hotel.	The Dar Daif is a Kasbah-style property across the river from the centre of town; ideal for those arriving from the Draa Valley.	The Tourmalines is probably our favourite hotel in the area. Stunning views over the huge lake are quite unique and a stay here is topped off with very friendly hospitality from the French owners.

Known locally for its rose petals (which inadvertantly decorate the roadside) and outstanding pise (mud-brick) buildings we would recommend a stop here on any route around the south.
