Visit Date: May 2, 2015
A little more tour of the Kasbah.
Take the halfway paved road.
On this day, after visiting Ait Ben Haddou, we drove around a little bit and visited the nearby oasis and Kasbah.

2015イスラエル＆モロッコ旅行No.12 アイト・ベン・ハッドゥ | my lifelog yuu-koma.jp http://www.yuu-koma.jp/?p=9423
アイト・ベン・ハッドゥは国道からやや外れた場所にあるため、国道からの脇道をたどって向かうわけですがここの道路舗装状態があまりよろしくなかったです。[highlight]道の真中しかアスファルトで固められていない[/highlight]んです。写真だとうまく伝わらないか。
ということで、対向車がなければ道路の真ん中を走っていればいいのですが、対向車が来た場合はこのままではぶつかってしまうので右によるしかありません。つまり、右側の車輪は舗装されていない部分を走ることになります。クルマが若干傾く上ガタガタしているので走りづらいわけですが、その後もモロッコにはこうした道が多かったため、次第に慣れてきました。
In addition, the national highway is well paved and comfortable to drive.
The Oasis of Fint
We chose this place because it was very hot during our visit to Ait Ben Haddou and we wanted to go somewhere a bit cooler. The oasis is located about 30 minutes south of Ait Ben Haddou, but it was disappointing and uninteresting. And it wasn’t very soothing (laughs).
The actual village is about 30 minutes to an hour’s walk from the entrance where we parked our car, but we decided not to go there. Because it seemed to destroy the whole day. As for the Berber village, we think we can enjoy it fully in Merzouga where we will go in two days.
However, the road and scenery to get here was surprisingly interesting. At first, it’s a paved road. However, there is a mysterious development area (apartment complex, industrial area). This is the only place where the road was well paved.
However, from a certain point, you will be on an unpaved road.
It shakes quite a bit, but I’m getting used to it.
It’s rather fun to drive. It must be hard for the passengers…
Another Kasbah « Tifurtut ».
比較的このエリアでもきれいに維持されているカスバの一つ。ちょうどThe Oasis of Fint少し立ち寄って30分ほど内部を見学してみました。[highlight]「ティフルトゥット」[/highlight}という街にあるカスバです。こちらも形がきれいに残っているので、映画のロケにも使用されたことがあるようです。
It cost about 50DH to get inside. It seemed that someone inside would guide us for free if we asked, but since it was not so big, we decided to visit it freely by ourselves. I think the inside was almost the same structure as riads like we stayed in Marrakech.
By the way, from the town of Ouarzazate, you can get there in about 10 minutes.
Our last dinner at Ait Ben Haddou
This day was a sightseeing day, after sightseeing in Tiflutut, we had a quick lunch in Ouarzazate and then returned to Ait Ben Haddad. I was able to come back at 4 pm.
It was quite hot, but after a short sleep in the hotel room, we had dinner around 7:30 pm.
Moroccan style omelet that we had yesterday.
And couscous for the first time in this place. It was a huge volume.
The dessert was an assortment of fruits. Again, there was a lot of fruit…. It was so delicious that we felt bad about having so much left over.
これでアイト・ベン・ハッドゥ滞在は終了。明日からは本格的にアトラス山脈南部散策が始まります。サハラ砂漠はもう目の前！（続く）
