Around Ouarzazate
Gateway to the Draa and Dades valleys on the edge of the Sahara, known for the Taourirt kasbah and its film studios; the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Benhaddou is about 30 km away.
Why visit Ouarzazate
The earthen kasbahs of the south start here: Taourirt in town, Tifoultoute just outside, and Aït Benhaddou, a fortified village of rammed earth that has appeared in many films.
Ouarzazate is the usual stop on the road from Marrakech over the High Atlas to the Dades gorges and the dunes of Merzouga.
