Ouarzazate, Film production hub in Drâa-Tafilalet region, Morocco
The city lies on a plateau at 1,151 meters elevation, south of the High Atlas Mountains, where rocky desert landscapes extend toward the Sahara Desert.
French authorities established a garrison town in the 1920s to oversee colonial interests, transforming the ancient trading post into an administrative center.
The Kasbah Taourirt displays traditional Moroccan architecture through its adobe walls, defensive towers, and intricate decorative elements from the Glaoui period.
Atlas Studios provides guided tours of movie sets and props from international productions, with entrance fees including access to both outdoor and indoor filming locations.
The region contains multiple film studios where productions like Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, and Game of Thrones created their desert and historical scenes.
