January 5-6: Ouarzazate - The Rose Noire
 |
|
| 7:10am: We had the
penthouse and this was the view we had when stepping out of the room. |
|
 |
 |
| This was the view we had when just waking up, gorgeous. | The sun was rising over the palm
trees. |
 |
 |
| Akiko missed these
moments. |
Breakfast was
ready. |
 |
 |
|
Waking up with fresh coffee,
dates, croissants, danishs, toast, and juice.
|
|
 |
 |
|
A view onto our room.
|
A floor below. 'The Rose Noire'
was actually a movie (see framed picture on the left), and the man of the house, a French guy, is the director of the Atlas filmstudio, as we found out in the morning. |
 |
|
| He came
to Ouarzazate from France and apparently fell in love with a local
lady, named Rose and pictured here, and they rehabbed this building as
a bed and breakfast, the 'Auberge de al Rose Noire'. |
|
 |
 |
| We made our way back
to the car through the meandering medina. |
The 'Rose
Noire' was inside the famous kasbah of Taourirt. |
 |
|
| Here another shot of it. The next page will take us across the atlas to Marrakesh. | |
