Discover the Hollywood of Morocco

This day trip in Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou lets you discover the “Hollywood of Morocco” and its surroundings on a full-day private tour. Ouarzazate is often considered the last big outpost before the Sahara Desert, and filmmakers have flocked here to shoot blockbusters such as Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, The Mummy and Babel.

You explore the labyrinthine rooms of the Taourirt Kasbah in the city centre, visit the cinema studios and continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a clay-built walled kasbah that has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987. You then drive through the Ounila Valley, with its famous views and Berber villages, to the last visit of the day, the Kasbah of Telouet, before returning to Ouarzazate by the end of the day.
