Ouarzazate — nicknamed the Door of the Desert and the Hollywood of Africa — sits at the crossroads of three of Morocco’s most spectacular landscapes: the High Atlas Mountains to the north, the Sahara Desert to the east, and the lush Draa Valley to the south.
Home to the world-famous Ait Ben Haddou UNESCO Kasbah (used in Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia) and the legendary Atlas Film Studios, Ouarzazate is a destination in itself — and a superb base for Morocco desert tours.
