Ouarzazate or Skoura to spend a night?

Hello

I'll be travelling in Morocco in May and planning to go from Marrakesh to Fez. I'm in doubt whether to tay a night in ouarzazate or head a fez more km and stay in Skoura. Which of the cities you think is more pleasant to have a sleepover?

Thanks!

Skoura is much more pleasant. I found Ouarzazate to be rather disappointing, and apparently, I'm not the only one.

I am one of them who like Ouarzazate, it is clean and calm town and I like it. Skoura is more oasis, nice of course too.

Neither are cities. Ouarzazate is a medium-sized modern town built around a military camp, Skoura is a stretched out oasis along a couple of seasonal rivers, with a small village on the nearby main road.

Personally I'd stop either in one of the 40 or so accommodation options around Ait Benhaddou, or at Kasbah Itran at El Kelaa M'Gouna,

Ouarzazate is not like the photos you see of it !! The photos you see are of a traditional kasbah but most of the town is new and not complete. There are lots of new buildings which are not finished and it keeps growing - very dissapointed with it !!
