There are many desert tour projects in the streets and hotels in Marrakech, and it is very convenient to travel the next day. At 7:30, I set foot on the trip to the desert gateway Ouarzazate. The scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed from wheat fields to wasteland, and a cluster of swarms of grasses hung on the ground like moss. It eventually became a bare hillside. Atlas stretched across northwestern Africa, separating the southwestern Mediterranean coast from the Sahara Desert, 2,400 kilometers. The name of the mountain is taken from the ancient Greek mythology of Atlas, the Hercules, who supported the sky with their shoulders. The ancient Greeks named it as the westernmost point of the world. From Marrakech to Ouarzazate, you have to cross the Atlas Mountains and turn the mountain road uphill. The old driver drove very fast, approaching twelve o'clock, and arrived at the first stop. This Kasabahs (castle) was a pass set up by Berbers four hundred years ago to control the trade route from southern Africa (black Africa south of the Sahara) to Venice's gold and salt bar. Built on the hillside, the castle controls the valley beneath. It has been abandoned. It has been rediscovered by European tourists in the 1960s and was rated a World Heritage Site in 1987. Director Spielger and others have made films here, such as Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator, making this increasingly obliterated village famous, hundreds of thousands of tourists come here every year. Ait ben Haddou also ranked second on the popular location list of "Power Game". There are only eight residents in the castle, most of them collapsed, no signs of past glory, and they are supported by some new houses built during filming. The villages built on the hillside are scattered and powerful. The outlines are like Manhattan in New York and Lujiazui in Shanghai. The house was built in the same way as the domestic dry bashing, first with grass and clay to form large bricks, then with palm tree beams and reed poles to lay the wedges, and finally with clay and lime chalk. In the hot desert, thick walls separated the heat from the outside. Walking in the aisle, the breeze was blowing.

Ben • Joseph Theological Seminary is the largest seminary in North Africa to study the Koran, and it is also one of the representative buildings of Morocco during its heyday. The entrance to the seminary is engraved with the words: 'Entering our door, may you continue to surpass yourself.'

An old gate in Marrakech's Medina, there is nothing to renovate, basically maintaining its original flavor. You can see the traces of history engraved on it. Inside the door is a narrow alleyway, and outside is a busy road, which is in stark contrast.

Agdal means "fenced meadow" and this garden in the Medina area of Marrakech, Morocco, has many kinds of trees that we can't name at all. I saw figs for the first time.

I never thought I liked the photography museum as much as I did. This museum is located in many winding alleys, so good luck finding it, but you won't regret it if you do. At any given time, they show 150 photos, seemingly from 1880 to around 1940, and they are beautifully lingering, especially on the first floor. It was quite a creepy experience to see pictures of long-gone Berbers and Africans with amazingly handsome faces. I would love to come back next time and see another set of photos. If there is anything you especially like you can buy a copy.

世界那么大AU
The only existing Almoravid period building in Marrakech. The tower is particularly striking, and many people can be seen to pray. The tower looks relatively new. It is said that after two restorations, the dome was once used for bathing before prayer, relying on the building's revolutionary hydraulic and drainage system, where showers can be used, toilets and drinking water systems.
