Ouarzazate Walking Tour
Ouarzazate, Morocco
Why Walk Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate sits at 1,160 meters on the southern side of the High Atlas, where the mountains give way to the pre-Saharan desert. The town is Morocco's Hollywood — Atlas Studios is one of the world's largest film studios, and dozens of major films have used the surrounding landscapes. The nearby Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar (fortified village) of red earthen buildings cascading down a hillside, is one of Morocco's most iconic sights.
