Ouarzazate

Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara,” is one of Morocco’s most iconic desert cities. Known for its ancient kasbahs, dramatic landscapes, and film studios, Ouarzazate attracts travelers looking for culture, adventure, and desert beauty. The famous Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the most spectacular ksars in the region.

The city is also home to the Atlas Studios, where many international films and series were shot, including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy. Surrounded by mountains, palm groves, and desert scenery, Ouarzazate is a perfect starting point for excursions to Merzouga, Zagora, and the Draa Valley.
