Trust in Allah, but tie up your camel!
... with two ceramic bowls thrown in to sweeten the deal. So of you are in the market for a Moroccan rug, cut out the middle man and buy direct from the weavers! We made our way back to Ouazazate and figured we'd get a hotel in the middle of town closer to the local action. However, we found the road into the town center blocked off by the police. We followed some cars which seemed to know a way around only to find a police paddy ...

But the price for our outstanding meal was far less than we would have paid in the US or anywhere in Europe, perhaps because there was no alcohol to be served.
