Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate
Located in southern Morocco, between the dramatic Atlas Mountains and the vast landscapes leading toward the Sahara Desert, Ouarzazate Morocco is often known as the "gateway to the desert." The city has long been an important starting point for desert adventures and is famous for its ancient kasbahs, rugged landscapes, traditional villages, and internationally recognized film studios.
Ouarzazate has long served as a key meeting point for trade between the Sahara and the imperial cities in northern Morocco. These days, many visitors come for guided Morocco desert tours, old buildings, and day to day local life they can actually feel. The town sits near mountain ridges and runs past palm groves. You may also pass Berber villages, along with wide valleys and deep gorges. In southern Morocco, the views around Ouarzazate stand out and tend to stay with people.
