Top Things to do in Ouarzazate
What to do and see in Ouarzazate, Souss-Massa-Draa Region: The Best Nature & Parks
The tiny Moroccan town of Ouarzazate is a caramel-colored oasis set against a clear blue African sky. Be inspired by Ait Benhaddou, a beautifully preserved Kasbah that's a UNESCO World Heritage site, or walk in the starry path of celebrities by taking a tour of one of Ouarzazate's two movie studios. Tour the surrounding dunes on camel-back, or simply bask in the quiet bustle of the bargaining sessions at local markets.

We took the road from Ouarzazate to Marrakesh and were blown away by the natural beauty of the area as we drove on narrow roads with many switchbacks, climbs and declines through The Draa River gorge that were cut into the earth years ago. The Draa Valley is home to Berber villages with its Kasbahs, sand dunes, and lush green plains. It begins its journey from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and 1100 km. later drains into the Atlantic Ocean. It is Morocco’s largest river. Our trip took us through the high Atlas Mountains with its many deposits of copper, iron and other metals turning the mountainous soil into mounds of reds, greens, blacks and other earthen tone colors. The trip took us through Col du Tichka, Morocco's highest mountain pass at 7410 ft which lies above the Marrakesh plains and gateway to the Sahara Desert. The trip was spell-binding.

Very nice one day walk in the back country surrounding Ouarzazate. Great experience driving Buggys on the tracks, in the oued and in the mountain.

if only more places lived up to their billing, as flint does, spectacular oasis set into rugged stoney landscape, plenty of bird life along the valley bottom, with the usual shepherds tending their flocks of sheep, goats and camels, walk up through the small fields and gardens, where the locals still tend to the corn, pomegranates, and dates. this is why we love Morocco....................(oh bye the way, we had no hassle and everyone we met was very friendly and welcoming)
