Kasbah Ouzina Hotel

In late September, I embarked on a journey to the low, medium and high Atlas Mountains and the Moroccan desert where I passed the old Dakar. One of the stops was the Kasbah Ouzina, in the middle of nowhere. It seems amazing how people adapt to what nature offers. The guys in charge are super helpful and friendly. With virtually nothing, they offered everything. Near this Kasbah is a village so do not forget to bring pencils and candy this trip. For the places where the 4x4 transit it seems that nobody lives except for kids running out to talk to you and sell you something, if only exchange for a pencil.

The area is characterized by a totally barren and uninhabited landscape. We are located in the Ouzina dunes, a short distance from the town of the same name. Access to the area is via the track from Merzouga Zagora. In Taouz, the main road ends so the last part of the journey is done on a dirt track that is not accessible for cars.
