Downtown Ouarzazate and lunch


We arrived in Ouarzazate and went in search of food. Our driver knew of this place and off we went. It is a very popular restaurant, full of tourists. The parking lot was full of minivans, the tour groups are all heading off for the desert. Ouarzazate is the gateway to the Sahara desert. There are options, options and options, most people would pick a tour company in Marrakech and head out to the desert this way. One can also fly into or take the bus or grand taxis to Ouarzazate and find a tour company to get out to the desert. I had intended to go to Kelaa M'gouna initially but changed my mind. Our driver asked if we wanted to stay overnight in the desert, he was game if we were. We weren't.... I was thinking of the 3 hour drive back to Marrakech and decided we'll head back.
