Ouarzazate.

The second day of the 5 Days Marrakech to Fes desert tour highlights Ouarzazate town. It is another wonderful town in the High Atlas mountains dominated by Berbers.

They brought African goods on camels and sold them in Morocco and Europe.

Secondly, the town is home to movies as well. It offers Atlas Studios where there are all materials for producing films. It is the biggest Atlas Film Studio all over the world. Ouarzazate is also home to old kasbahs, like the 19th century Kasbah of Taourirte. The town has a typical temperature. It gets hot and dry in summer, while in winter gets cold. The icy wind that blows from the High Atlas Mountains makes it colder, unlike other desert areas. Ouarzazate is not only a tourist destination but also a crucial historical city in Morocco.

Besides, it is one of the lucky places in Morocco where oases are grown on river tracks under the huge mountains.

However, it is a destination for tourists of mountain climbing sports because of its high proximity to the Todgha Gorges and the other virgin places nearby.
