Ouarzazate - Taroudant

 

Ouarzazate is famous for the kasbah of Taourirt, the birthplace of the last pasha of Marrakech, which not so long ago was inhabited by over a thousand people.

Ouarzazate has been linked with cinema since 1984. Its climate, geographical situation and economic conditions have encouraged film studios to locate there. The sets of films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra or the Sheltering Sky and Gladiator can be visited.

 

 Just like Marrakech, Taroudant has imposing adobe ramparts, adorned with square towers. A 7km walk around it reveals its five gates, Bab El-Kasba being the main one and the most majestic. The crenellated fortifications are in an excellent condition. Its medina and its souks are very lively.
