Things to see and do in Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is the gateway to the Sahara, offering sun-drenched landscapes, a peaceful atmosphere, and a fascinating mix of history and culture. The city is famous for its historic kasbahs, including the iconic Kasbah Taourirt, and for its sprawling palm oases that provide a striking contrast to the surrounding desert. Film enthusiasts will also enjoy visiting the Atlas Studios, one of the world’s largest film studios, where many famous movies and series have been shot. From here, you can feel the magic of southern Morocco while admiring the dramatic beauty of the Atlas Mountains and preparing for excursions into the Sahara.
