Set out early from Marrakech for an unforgettable day trip to Ouarzazate, Morocco’s "Gateway to the Desert" and "Hollywood of Africa." Begin your adventure at Ola Energy on Rue Moulay Ismail, where a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and a friendly driver (speaking English or French) await you.

Travel 205 km through the stunning scenery of the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, spot dramatic landscapes and charming Berber villages. Stop at scenic viewpoints, including the famous Tizi n'Tichka pass, for awe-inspiring photos.

Upon arrival, dive into Ouarzazate’s rich history and distinctive architecture. Tour the striking Kasbah of Taourirt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Next, visit legendary film studios that have featured in major productions like "Gladiator," "Kingdom of Heaven," and "Game of Thrones."

No visit here is complete without seeing the spectacular Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO site just outside the city. Wander along its narrow lanes lined with ancient clay houses. Prefer to relax? Take a break at a restaurant with a view of the village—recommended for anyone with joint or back discomfort instead of touring the ksar.

Savour lunch at a local spot and enjoy classic Moroccan flavours while sharing stories with fellow travellers. Your guides ensure your comfort and safety throughout the day.

End your adventure with a scenic drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the early evening. This day trip blends film history, striking sights, and genuine hospitality, creating memories you’ll treasure forever.
