We were going to the sahara so we had to go from Ouarzazate to M'hamid El Ghizlane. This is a 300km drive through impressive landscapes. We took a shared taxi for a few dirham and we drove from Ouarzazate to Zagora. There is no direct to the desert of M'hamid. In Zagora you need to take another taxi for Tagounite, a little village. And in Tagounite you take your last taxi to M'hamid, the village in the desert where Morocco ends. This trip takes most of the day with switching taxis and waiting for their departure: they only drive when they are full with 6 people. The drive is impressive, you see the landscape change into desert while your drive. After the long drive you want to take some rest. We stayed in Relais Hamada du Draa. It's an oase in the desert where you can relax well and then start for your trip in the desert.
