The climate of Ouarzazate
According to citypopulationreview, Ouarzazate is perhaps one of the most special places in Morocco due to its location in the Atlas Mountains. Ouarzazate is located at 1160 meters altitude, at the intersection of the Draa and Dades valleys, at the foot of the Sahara. The mercury can sometimes rise to well above 40 degrees in the summer months, while in winter there is snow on the nearby mountain peaks and it regularly freezes. Ouarzazate is used by many people as a base to the Sahara and is also called the threshold to the desert.
