Mhamid, the Old and New, in the Drâa River Valley of Morocco

The village of Mhamid is located in the southeastern part of Morocco, on the edge of the Sahara Desert.  It’s coveted spot in the more lush Drâa Valley of the Zagora province,  was the last stop for caravans before crossing the desert sands.  We stopped by Mhamid and Mhamid Bali (the old location of the town) to look at the kasbahs, ride some camels, drink some tea, talk with the locals, and had a wonderful time!
