A breathtaking drive through mountain passes. Air Ben Haddou is well preserved being a World Heritage Site and worth the walk into the citadel. An excellent lunch. Our driver Ibrahim was charming and a very fine and careful driver. The roads, following the earthquake, have been cleared and restored, but it was sad to see the damage to local villages and people having to live in tents whist their homes are rebuilt. Despite all of this they are charming and hospitable people. Souvenirs are as good and often less expensive than in major towns.

They name this place as the Hollywood of Africa but I will try to re name this as Molywood, the town being in Morocco. We were there for the afternoon for lunch and the restaurant overlooked the wide road and serene town. Later we went into the Ouarzazate Cinemas Museum and so interestingly they still have the big picture of Peter O'Toole as Lawrence of Arabia besides Russel Crowe in Gladiator. We were lucky that day, they had some filming going on, and I think a very young 'Cleopatra' was there! Small museum but worth visiting.

I have been 3 times and want to return. It's a very photogenic place with much history and beauty. Many tourists just pass buy with little time to breathe the place in. I didn't find a place to stay over night on airbnb or booking but being there I noticed and visited a hotel so now I know its possible to stay overnight. Also, just by the bridge, there is a cafe that is a project to help local families...and then there are the several shops with barber goods. I enjoyed spending time chatting to the local sellers.

Hassan's service helped me tremendously for exploring destinations like Essaouira and Ouarzazate at my own pace, allowing me to truly absorb a sense of each place. Hassan ensures that travellers enjoy their journeys and have a better understanding of Morocco; recommended for visitors seeking a reliable Moroccan to navigate the country with them.

You travel from snow covered mountains to dry and sunny plains of the movie studios. You visit the picture perfect UNESCO heritage site which is stunning. Hassan who was our driver & guide made the day most enjoyable with his witty comments and knowledge of the area. A day trip not to be missed even though you have a 7am start!
