Fes to Marrakech desert tour 4 days
Some places to see while doing our Fes to Marrakech desert tour 4 days including night in desert, camel riding, visit to the Todra and Dades gorges plus the high Atlas mountains and the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah.
Erfoud
Because of the beauty of the surrounding Sahara Desert and the town’s oasis sections, Erfoud is a popular filming location. Many films have been filmed in Erfoud, including: The Mummy, prince of Percia, March or Die…
This region of Morocco has also been discovered as having similarities in look and possibly geology to specific regions of Mars. As a result, there is growing interest in this region as a field study location for Mars analogue research.
The Austrian Space Forum spent the entire month of February 2013 doing tests with a field crew that included two space suit simulators (Aouda.X and Aouda.S) and a number of rovers. To mimic a voyage to the surface of Mars, they were assisted by a Mission Support Center based in Innsbruck, Austria. On February 11, the main desert base camp was designated Camp Weyprecht, while a subsequent satellite camp some 80 kilometers south was named Station Payer.
Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate was once a tiny crossing point for African traders traveling to northern Morocco and Europe. Sheikh Abu al-‘Abaas Ahmed bin Abdellah al-Wizkiti al-Warzazi, amir of the qasba of Ouarzazate and father of Lalla Masuda, helped establish Saadi rule over the Sous-Dra’a region in the 16th century.
During the French occupation, Ouarzazate grew significantly as a military town, administrative center, and customs station. It is home to the Kasbah Taourirt, which was the former cad’s kasbah and was afterwards owned by T’hami El Glaoui. Today, the Krupp field gun that secured Glaoui power is on display outside the kasbah.
The region is also famed for its Ouazguita carpets, which have geometric motifs in red and orange on a black background.
The Ouarzazate region is a well-known filming location, with Morocco’s major studios attracting numerous foreign production companies to operate there. Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Man Who Would Be King (1975), The Living Daylights (1987), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Kundun (1997), Legionnaire (1998), Hanna (2011), The Hills Have Eyes (2006), and Salmon Fishing in Yemen (2011) were all filmed here, as was Game of Thrones.
