Lucky I felt safe with our driver Zaid, me being scared of driving on high roads did not do very well on the Tichka pass. This is the main road which leads through the mountains to Ouarzazate and the dert fringes. We were traveling the two way road at a height of 2260m high. At many times with no guard rail and a sheer drop.
I thought that was the worst of it was over until we took the road to Telouet. Not really a road, a piste as they call it here. A dirt track which doesn't take long to turn into rubble and at times a mess of fallen rocks with a cliff edge just centimetres from the wheel. This is pure Kasbah country. Governed by the Glaoui clan hundreds of years ago. The Glaoui clan governed this area and controlled the only caravan route that carried spices, slaves, from Africa to Europe.
