About Ouarzazate
Setting out for Ouarzazate, Zagora and Tinghir is an extraordinary journey brimming with breathtaking wonders. The region reveals an incredible diversity of landscapes, from the singular atmosphere of the desert to picturesque green valleys. It's no surprise that David Lean, Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese chose this destination for Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, Kundun and Babel. Thrill seekers will find tracks leading to the edge of the desert: meet camel drivers and their caravans, and spend a night under a bivouac. Arriving in Tinghir, the journey begins at the Glaoui Kasbah, with its splendid panorama from palm grove to the Todra gorges in the middle of the High Atlas.
