A day trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate takes you through Morocco’s dramatic southern landscapes. You’ll first cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, passing by traditional Berber villages. Then, discover the UNESCO–listed Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, famous as a film location for movies including Gladiator, before visiting the Atlas Film Studios and historic kasbahs such as Taourirt in Ouarzazate, known as "Little Hollywood." Most tours include comfortable round-trip transportation from Marrakech and a guide to share insights along the way.
