Ouarzazate

Often referred to as the “Gateway to the Sahara,” Ouarzazate is a striking desert city in southern Morocco known for its dramatic landscapes, ancient kasbahs, and rich cinematic history. Nestled between the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara, the city offers a captivating blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The UNESCO-listed Aït Benhaddou, a nearby fortified village, is a must-visit, with its mud-brick architecture and panoramic views that have served as the backdrop for films such as Gladiator and Game of Thrones.

Ouarzazate is also home to the world-famous Atlas Studios, one of the largest film studios in the world, where visitors can explore grand sets and learn about the city’s role in international filmmaking. Travellers can enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine in local riads, explore bustling souks, or venture further into the desert for excursions to oases and remote Berber villages. With its unique blend of adventure, history, and cinematic allure, Ouarzazate makes an unforgettable stop on any Moroccan itinerary.
