Ouarzazat, the gate of the desert, is a city in the southeast part of Morocco. It’s about 200km far away from Marrakesh, and is known for Atlas Studio, one of the world’s largest movie studios.
Ouarzazat used to be a meeting point for trade caravans setting off for northern Morocco and Europe. It is a very popular holiday destination because of the outstanding sights existing within and nearby the city, like the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO world heritage site, said to be the largest of its king in Morocco.
