Ouarzazate

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, Martin Scorsese and Alejandro González Iñárritu chose this destination just like their forefathers who made history filming Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, Kundun, Babel and, more recently, Prison Break. Thrill seekers will find many tracks leading to the edge of the desert: meet camel drivers and their caravans at the crossroads of the Draâ, Ziz and Dades roads, and spend a night under a bivouac. The Tinfou dune near Zagora also called the dune of the golden sand is unforgettable. 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.
