In-Depth Information
( 0524 89 03 46; Ave Mohammed V; adult/student Dh30/15; 8am-6pm) This small, dusty
cinema museum is housed in a former studio and exhibits a collection of old sets, props
and cinematic equipment. Located opposite the Taourirt Kasbah, it is a convenient altern-
ative if you can't get to the larger studios out of town.
Activities
Though many agencies and hotels still offer them, quad bikes cause considerable damage
to the fragile desert ecosystem and are not recommended. On motorbikes and bicycles,
riders are advised to stay on well-marked trails to minimise displacement of native spe-
cies.
