Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel!
Today was a 200km loop from Ouazazate via the Draa Valley. The roads were very passable by my standards. However they may not be passable by 'normal' standards.

... clothes. I bought some berber dresses in Chef and wore them the whole time. It definitely made a difference in how fast we could settle on a price. I also found out that as far as taxis go, it is sometimes easier just find out what trip is worth in advance, then just leave a few dirham less and pretend to leave.
