This road is way more pleasant than the national road (N9) going from Ouarzazate to Tizi N'Tchika, and the views become stunning 15km after Ait-Benhaddou. Beautiful villages on the edge of cliffs, hanging over the river.

Wherever there is some water, there are green stripes in the otherwise barren landscape.
