Also known under the name of Morocco Hollywood or the Gate of the Desert, Ouarzazate is very quite and charming city located in the south of Morocco, about 200km from Marrakech.
One single day is undoubtedly not enough to explore Ouarzazate and its surroundings, but during this exceptional day trip, you will discover several spectacular sites and landscapes, such as the highest pass in Africa (Tizi-N’Tichka: 2260 meters), a great succession of wonderful Berber villages and almost unique panoramic views.
Your excursion will bring you through beautiful Atlas Mountains roads, large valleys, then desert-like landscapes and palm groves when you get close to south.
You will arrive to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified old village, listed by UNISCO as one of World Heritage Sites of Morocco. You will join a local tour guide to visit this impressive Kasbah where the most famous Hollywood films were shot like Kingdom of Heaven, Babel, Gladiator, The Mommy, Lawrence of Arabia…
After your guided tour, we will continue our trip to Ouarzazate to visit the Kasbah of Taourirt, a cinema studio if this would interest you and to have lunch in a great local Moroccan restaurant, before returning back to Marrakech.
