Ouarzat: a fantastic journey full of color and culture

# Sign up for hotel trial sleepers in December In Morocco, North Africa, there is a small town called Ouarzat. It is where deserts and mountains meet, and it is also a popular filming location for many movies. The soft sunlight casts golden light on the land, giving the entire city a mysterious and charming charm. My trip to Ouarzat was full of surprises, colors and unforgettable memories. Day 1: Journey to Marrakech The trip started in Marrakech, Morocco. Starting from Marrakech and crossing the rolling mountains and vast deserts, my heart was full of expectations. Outside the car window, the scenery is sometimes green and sometimes golden, as if every picture is touching my heartstrings. After driving for about four hours, we finally arrived in Ouarzat. The city streets here are bustling, colorful traditional Moroccan architecture can be seen everywhere, and the shelves of small shops are filled with handicrafts and spices. The first thing we came to was the famous local Aït Benhaddou, a well-preserved ancient village and one of the filming locations for the movie "Gladiator". Standing on this ancient earthen house, I felt a shock that spanned time and space, as if I could hear the pace of history echoing in my ears. Day 2: Explore Ait Ben Haddou The morning sun shines on the land of Ouarzat, and we bring photographic equipment and prepare to go deep into Ait Ben Haddou. When I walked into this ancient village, I was attracted by the color of the city wall. The red earth-colored buildings looked particularly beautiful in the sunshine, exuding a warm atmosphere. We walked along the winding alleys, with small shops selling all kinds of handicrafts. When I entered a small shop, I saw the owner carving wood with great care, so I started chatting with him. He enthusiastically told me that these handicrafts are not only expressions of art, but also the inheritance of their national culture. Listening to him tell those stories, I seemed to be able to feel the deep cultural roots. At the highest point of the ancient village, we climbed onto a small mound. The scenery in front of us took my breath away. The desert and mountains in the distance blend together, and under the setting sun, the entire village is like a work floating on the canvas, and I am the viewer admiring the painting. At this moment, my soul was cleansed, and it seemed that all the worldly worries were gone with the wind. Day Three: The Beginning of the Desert Journey Today, we embarked on the long-awaited desert trip. In the morning we set off on camel rides on the edge of Ouarzat towards the Sahara Desert. The camel's pace was steady and slow, and every step made me look forward to the magical sea of ​​sand I was about to see. After driving for a while, we finally reached the depths of the desert. A golden sand dune spreads out in front of you, like an undulating ocean. Under the sun, the sand grains sparkle with golden light, making you feel like you are in a fantasy world. We took photos on the sand dunes, played and enjoyed the moment. In the evening, we set up our tent and spent an unforgettable night in the desert. The starry sky that night was extremely magnificent, and the stars were like a canopy woven from bright pearls. I sat on the sand dune, immersed in this moment of silence, my mind filled with expectations for life.
