I recently embarked on the "Hollywood of Morocco" day trip to Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou, and it was an extraordinary adventure that exceeded my expectations.
Fantastic Architecture and Vistas
Published on Dec, 2022
This was a stop on our 10-day bus tour of Morocco, and it was a highlight. A UNESCO world heritage site, this is one of the largest kasbahs in Morocco, a virtual rabbit warren of red clay residences and colurful shops (you will not be harassed). The crenellated towers are a sight to behold, and the view from the top of the hill of the town and the Atlas mountains is breathtaking. Many films, including Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator, have been shot here for good reason. We lingered in the actual arena where Maximus fights his first gladiatorial duel for Proximus. Wonderful experience.
Amazing landscapes

Great day out,Seeing Morocco in a different way
Published on Dec, 2019
Booked through my hotel,it was good to get a pick up about 7am.Full day i believe 12hrs so long way to go.Climbing up to the high atlas mountains into the Berber countryside our first stop is to look back on the snake like Tizi n 'Test road winding its way up and over the mountain valleys,great photo oppertunities .Next on to Ait Benhaddou in the desert ,wanted to come here because of the game of thrones connection,this was Yunkai-Pentos in season 3,and from a distance its all you could imagine from an ancient city from long ago,we had a Berber guide who told us that people still lived in the old Kasbah and its been the film set of many Hollywood films,its still well preserved and the mud/straw buildings are still preserved,local arts/craft shops can be found amongst the intricate passage ways that wind there way up to the agadir/granary at the top,great views of the surrounding village,river bed and scenic views of the countryside and stoney desert.Quite a stunning place to visit.Next up is Ouarzazate the hollywood of Africa ,well not that glittering but the huge desert studios are just outside the city,where again many famous hollywood blockbusters have been made/various scenes Star Wars/Gladiator to name a couple the city is well preserved old and new and by some of the appartments here there is money around this part of the country.The old city has bazzars/souks and is still inhabited by many locals,some areas are run down but again getting deep into the back streets you meet and see how the locals live ,its open eye stuff when you see how some live but are happy in there day to day lives, all in all this has been a great day out,and its time to eat at a local restaraunt before we have the long journey back,to Marrakech.
