Excursion from Marrakech to Ouarzazate

Marrakech to Ouarzazate Day Trip featuring:

• Movie studios
• Walking tour of Ait Ben Haddou
• Panoramic vistas & photo opportunities

Are you a movie fan? This is the excursion for you! We will meet you early between 8:00 and 9:00, generally – to drive over the High Atlas Mountains to the growing city of Ouarzazate. There will be panoramic vistas, lots of places to stop for pictures, and finally, a visit to the Hollywood of Morocco!

Ouarzazate is home to three film studios including Atlas Studios, the world’s largest. You have the option of touring any or all of them for an extra charge.

You can also choose to tour the Museum of Cinema to see a huge assortment of props from many of the movies produced by the studios.

We will also stop for a walking tour of nearby Ait Ben Haddou, a site that may look familiar to you if you saw films like Lawrence of Arabia, The Jewel of the Nile, or the Game of Thrones series. Ait Ben Haddou is an ancient fortified Berber ksar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will feel the history as you walk the paths and look into the earthen buildings that entertained camel caravans on their way to and from Marrakech for centuries.

We will enjoy lunch in Ouarzazate before returning to Marrakech. We should have you back to your hotel in time for dinner.
