Hotels in Ouarzazate, Morocco
Ouarzazate sits in southern Morocco at the edge of the Sahara, with a desert climate that brings scorching summers (over 100°F/38°C) and mild winters (around 50°F/10°C). It's famous as a film-making hub-you can tour Atlas Studios where movies like 'Gladiator' were shot-and for the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, a mud-brick village you can explore year-round. Spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures for desert camel treks, while winter visitors enjoy lower prices and clear skies perfect for photographing the ancient kasbahs.
