The Itinerary of Day Trip to Ouarzazate and Unesco kasbahs
Ouarzazate is one of the most popular Moroccan sites for filmmakers around the world. one of the cinematographic strengths of this place is the quality of the light, its popularity increases with the realization of Lawrence of Arabia in 1962, shot in particular on the site of Ait-Ben-Haddou, a small village near Ouarzazate having been listed as World Heritage.
Ait Ben Haddou is a Kasbah (fortified city) located 30 kilometers from Ouarzazate. Like Atlas Studios, the Kasbah has been filmed dozens of times and features in such great classics as Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, The Mummy and The Nile Diamond.
Kasbah Taourirt is another fortified city around Ouarzazate. The construction was made of clay, has two crenellated towers and is considered one of the best preserved kasbahs in Morocco.
Incredible scenery, amazing roads and charming traditional villages make this day trip to Ouarzazate an event worthy of interest.

Love Lust or Bust
I've taken four tours with Morocco Daily Tours. *Zagora *Essaouira *Marrakech *Ourzazate I'm a travel writer, so I need to find THE BEST tour companies and guides to show me the hottest spots in a country in order to share these tips with my readers. Said and his staff helped me to find the places I know couples will love, especially if they're on a budget. Plus, Said is so funny that I didn't even mind the long drives from Marrakech. He is not only a charming tour guide, but has become a friend, and I know that many of his other clients feel the same way, returning to tour with him again and again.
