M’Hamid El Ghizlane: Gateway to the Sahara
M’Hamid El Ghizlane is a peaceful village at the edge of the Moroccan Sahara. It’s known as the last town before the desert begins. From here, you can start camel treks, 4×4 tours, or spend the night under stars in a desert camp.
This town was once a caravan stop for traders heading to Timbuktu. Now, it’s a quiet place where visitors discover authentic Berber culture, music, and traditions.
How to Get to M’Hamid:
From Marrakech: Around 8–9 hours by car or bus.
From Ouarzazate: About 4–5 hours.
The drive through the Draa Valley is scenic, with palm groves and old kasbahs.
