About Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is a kasbah town in southern Morocco at the foot of the High Atlas, known as a gateway to the desert and a centre of film-making.
Ouarzazate lies on a high, dry plain south of the High Atlas, where the road over the Tizi n'Tichka pass from Marrakech meets the valleys that lead on to the Draa and the Dades. The Taourirt Kasbah, a sprawling mud-brick fortress of the Glaoui family, stands beside the old town, with painted ceilings and narrow rooms. The wide avenues of the newer town are quiet, and the Atlas Mountains make a snow-capped backdrop in winter.
