        Approx. 3:30-hour trip

        We will start our full-day excursion from Marrakech at 8 in the morning, heading towards Ouarzazate. Along the way, we will enjoy the spectacular views of the valleys in the area and visit Berber villages known for selling semi-precious stones.

Its unique architecture and surroundings have made it an ideal location for filming many movies and TV series. Some of the fantastic productions that have featured this Kasbah include Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Babel, Prince of Persia, The Mummy, and, of course, Game of Thrones (it is the city that Daenerys Targaryen visits in the last episode of the third season).

        During this 1-day excursion from Marrakech, we will take a panoramic tour of the city and visit the former residence of Pacha El Glaoui. Additionally, to complement this Marrakech to Ouarzazate excursion, we will visit Atlas Films Studios, where many scenes from the mentioned movies were filmed. This will allow us to discover the cinematographic importance of this region of the country.
