Ouarzazate
and the region
MOROCCO, a country of dramatic scenery, ethnic diversity, and
ancient architecture and friendly, warm-hearted people offering
a temperate sub-tropical climate, deluxe hotels and excellent
cuisine, make it an exotic, yet easily accessible, destination.
OUARZAZATE, a city risen from the bowels of the earth, in the
midst of the desert in the south of the kingdom of Morocco, a
breath-taxingly and elusively varied setting.
Burning sands, snowy peaks, palm groves and verdant oases,
lofty ksours, walled villages and sumptuous kasbahs the idyllic
wonder of a town from another age.
Ouarzazate in the midst of the desert in the south of the
kingdom of Morocco, stands at the crossroads between the Drâa
valley-which reaches as far as Agadir-the Dadès which cuts
through the High Atlas-and the Ziz, which feeds Tafilalet's vast
stretches of palm grove before vanishing into the sands of Taouz.
Ouarzazate is the film capital
of Morocco, with everything from Lawrence of Arabia to The
Mountains of the Moon and Star Wars being filmed there. The
studio outside town is an impressive sight, and open to the
public for tours
