After waking on our last morning in the desert we enjoyed an early wander in the dunes. The wind and light creates many interesting dune shapes, colours and patterns.
After breakfast it was back in the 4WD for another few hours of desert driving. We saw a few interesting sand and rock formations, a few other 4WDs and the odd sign of civilisation here and there...
As we drove on we saw a few large hills rising from the desert with flat tops. I'm not sure how the elements combine to create such hills but they were impressive. We also started seeing the odd clump of date palms in small wadis where they could get occasional water and some shelter from the wind.
Finally in late morning we hit bitumen again near the town of Foum Zguid. From now it was an easy drive on to Ouarzazate our evening destination.
After checking into another lovely Riad we went for a walk around the city with Ismail which gave us a better chance to get an insight into daily living in Morocco. We certainly attracted a crowd outside a school as we passed just as the kids were finishing for the day. Eventually we returned to the hotel for another excellent dinner by the pool.

| Food hygiene is a little less rigid in Morocco. In the lesser class restaurants cats were always looking to visit to snatch a morsel |
