Cinema perfect scenery in this mythical town in Morocco's south-eastern desert. Ouarzazate has attracted lots of filmmakers looking for scenery that is out of the ordinary.

My suggestion

Ouarzazate is a good departure point for trips to the Great South and the desert. It's a good idea to have one or two days to rest in Ouarzazate before you go off adventuring.

My suggestion

If you go through Ouarzazate, don't forget to pass by Aït Benhaddou, the most famous kasbah, during your stay in Morocco.
