Day 7: Ouarzazate
 After
breakfast at camp, you'll begin your 4x4 ride back to M'hamid with a stop at an oasis on the way. A babbling spring of crystal clear (but not potable
to us) water seeps out of the ground to support desert men, beasts and
frogs.
You'll arrive back at
the Hotel Sahara in M'hamid in by mid-morning.
After a break to refresh, a guide will take you into a rural Kasbah for
a rare look inside a disappearing way of life. Its narrow,
dark sand streets are lined with traditional homes built of thick
earthen bricks made from a mixture of clay and straw.
This clay, like the narrow shaded street, keeps out the relentless
sun and heat of the Sahara, an application as practical as it is
traditional. We ask that you put your cameras away when
venturing into the Kasbah. The inhabitants much prefer that you
"create memories rather than pictures."
After your tour of the
desert and Kasbah, your driver will take you 4 hours north to Ouarzazate
where you will visit the Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO world heritage
site. You spend the night at a hotel before a flight out to the US.
