Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. It's day number 54 on our round the world trip. Now we are here just next to this reservoir, which I don't know if you can see just in the background. Just outside the city of Ouazazat where we had a successful wild camp here, our first wild camping in Morocco. Successful right here. It's a beautiful morning. Yes, we had a really good night tour. It was super quiet, no wind at all and we slept without our tent cover, so we could see the stars and We had a really nice breeze. So it wasn't too cold. It wasn't too hot. It was just perfect. You could hear a few dogs barking in the distance. In the distance. I think this is just a common thing here in Morocco that you can always hear dogs barking when you're camping. And it's really funny as well because I read on iOverlander about this place here and they mentioned It's possible that some locals come and ask you to want to drink some tea with you and yesterday We had somebody coming over asking us do you want to drink some tea with me? So I think that's really funny. So let me show you guys where we're gonna be heading today. Okay, so we are Here just at this reservoir outside the city of Ouzazat And we are going to be continuing on the N10 which joins up with the N9 and crossing the High Atlas Mountains Over to Marrakech There's one cool place that we're going to be visiting along the way as well Which is the UNESCO World Heritage Site I eat Ben Hadou, but I'll tell you more about that when we get over there So we have about 150 miles which is 240 k's to go. It's just 7.10 in the morning. So better hit the road. Let's go First little off-road to warm up for today. All right, let's do it Okay, we won't take that one. I know That's a little bit too crazy Nice, I like this. Yeah, it's beautiful. It was a super, super nice camp. Yeah It was super peaceful, super nice. Yeah Oh, I don't like that too much Okay Yeah, it wasn't too bad. Don't worry. Yeah, and it's actually quite cool at the moment, isn't it? Oh, yeah, that's nice It says air temperatures 18 degrees. Wow. Wow. That's incredible. We're actually bordering on being a little bit too cold for us now Now I'm really happy that we woke up so early Get started early. This gets hot in the afternoon, doesn't it? It gets hot and I get a headache Yeah, yeah, which is a little bit annoying because we are just on the way down south Yeah, basically got a month of endless sunshine. Yeah, a month of suffering I can do that All right, this is the RN10, the Route National 10 And it's going to join up with the Route National 9 at Wazazat And then we'll be heading over there into the Atlas Mountains Let's go So this whole area of Morocco around the Wazazat and these mountains here, this is basically the Hollywood of Morocco So we just passed by in Wazazat, the town Quite a few film studios and this whole area has been used for a lot of films since the 1960s And the place that we are Heading to right now, which is about five miles away. Aid Ben Hadou is also used as film sets It's been used as a film set for Prince of Persia, Alexander The mummy, I mean it's like part of film history But it's actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site It was built in the 11th century and it's basically a fortified village Set on a hill. It's completely built out of mud as well. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So it just kind of like blends into the hill So Yeah, it's going to be really cool. I can't wait to see it. Yeah, it should be really nice So this road that we're on right now coming up and through the mountains is part of a very very historic trade route from the Sahara and sub-Saharan Africa through to Marrakesh and then further on to the coast and Aid Ben Hadou originally started as a fortified Stop with like, you know a place to rest a place to stop a place to trade along this trade route It has a lot of historic significance And it is a historic route that we're taking right now You can imagine for the past like thousand maybe even more years People with their camel trains have been traveling through here from the Sahara up Up into the Atlas Mountains and stopping off where we're gonna stop off today Of Aid Ben Hadou from here now. Very picturesque place. I don't know what's more impressive the buildings or the women doing The handbook picking them Like they have done a thousand years ago It's a really beautiful peaceful area very nice But we got to hit the road. We got to get to Marrakesh. Oh look There's a little motor motorcycle girl over there. Maybe I should go and pick her up Well, hey there pretty lady Well, you're headed you want to go to Marrakesh All right, let's rock and roll We're now heading towards the Atlas Mountains in front The place that we have booked to stay is 111 miles on the other side in Marrakesh Yeah, we booked this place on Airbmb and It's 16 euro the night and we booked it for a few days Yeah, just pretty much just a bed and a desk Place where we can do some editing where we can chill out a bit because we have now been on the road for quite a few days in a row Yeah, I think seven days. Yeah, so I think it's time for For a little bit of off-the-bike time It's like they're building the entire way From Marrakesh to Wazazad They're rebuilding the entire road That's absolutely crazy. Yeah Who would have known hey? They're moving mountains for this highway. Wow Respect Wow, look at this colors. Yeah, it's really beautiful here. Wow, but this dark brown mountain next to this like Really red mountain. Yeah, and then they're farming some sort of wheat here Everything in this terraces. Yeah, and this is what they're using to Feed the animals but also to mix with the earth to make the houses Because of course all of the houses are made from just straw and mud. It's really incredible I mean look you can barely see the difference between the houses and the and the mountain. Yeah, incredible absolutely incredible we just passed over a Mountain pass with the sign that said altitude 2260 meters above sea level Yeah, and it's so crazy as well because we just changed like the valley and here the mountains are actually more like green and gray and brown Yeah, they told me they lost their red red color. Yeah, and there's actually grass on these hills. Yeah a little bit Completely different. It looks completely different. Yeah, it's very cool People selling some stuff here on the side of the road. I think it's honey. Maybe oh, yeah, yeah Or some marmalade or maybe some argon oil or something And they're all competing with each other as well. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah Really pretty mountains in front. Yeah The other side of the Atlas Mountains now you see the landscape starting to open up But yeah, it was quite a long and windy road It wasn't so many miles, but you cannot drive those roads very fast Which is nice. You can enjoy the enjoy the place. We've traveled the 109 miles We've got 41 miles to go until we reach Marrakesh. Yeah, I think that is the end of the windy mountain roads It's Stuck as well behind the truck. Look at those trucks Oh god, and that truck has to go all the way up and over where we just went crazy I mean, it must take him the whole day It must take him forever to pass the mountains. I guess so Okay, we are just having the cheapest meal on our trip so far yet It's 80 cents and it's egg And bread. And I got because it's so cheap as well a Moroccan salad. Bon appetit We've just come down from the mountains and we've entered like the busiest place in the whole world I don't think we're in Marrakesh because we still have 26 miles to go But look at this place. Yeah, look here on the right. You can see the horse and the cars Here, so it's really common here. We saw a lot of locals using them. Yeah, like taxis horse. Yeah, horse taxis carriage taxis. Yeah, it's really crazy and here on the other side you can see like all the taxi drivers as well Wow, and there's a donkey in the middle of the road busy place.
