Hotels in Ouarzazate, Morocco
Ouarzazate, Morocco, sits at the edge of the Sahara in the High Atlas foothills, famous for its film studios and as a gateway to desert adventures. The climate has hot summers (up to 100°F/38°C) and mild winters (around 50°F/10°C), so visit in spring or autumn for hiking to the 19th-century Aït Benhaddou kasbah, a UNESCO site where movies like Gladiator were filmed. In winter, you can explore the Taourirt Kasbah without crowds, while summer nights are perfect for stargazing on a camel trek into the nearby Erg Chebbi dunes.
