Not too far from this village is Ouarzazate, a city in the south of Morocco known as the Hollywood of North Africa due to the number of movies made at its film studios. There will be a chance to visit these studios. On the way to Boumalne Dades, where we will stay for the night, we pass by the Roses Valley, a beautiful evergreen area famous for the damaskina roses. Locals hold a festival every year to celebrate the harvest.

There are mosques and palaces to visit but be aware that only Muslims can enter mosques in Morocco. After exploring the dye-pits, tanneries, pharmacy, pottery, and restaurants, we return to our hotel to freshen up for tonight, where we have the chance of an optional traditional meal in the city with live Moroccan entertainment including traditional music, belly dancing and magicians.

Whilst here, you are unlikely to miss Marrakech’s main landmark, the rose coloured Koutoubia Mosque standing 77 metres high. The Mosque’s tower is sister to the Hassan Tower in Rabat and the Giralda Tower in Seville and located on the edge of the medina. No visit to Marrakech is complete without seeing the city’s UNESCO-listed medina & Djemaa-el-Fna square, (which means congregation); it is an extraordinary gathering and marketplace with snake charmers, musicians, henna artists and plenty of spice and souvenir stalls and where we will spend our final evening.
