What to see
Taourirt quarter; film studios; central streets and markets.
What to do
Visit heritage sites, arrange a studio tour or use the city as a base for separate excursions.
Practical information
Confirm current access, opening arrangements and local conditions before travelling. Use local guides for unfamiliar paths; respect private homes, cultivated land and requests about photography. Accommodation and dining links may refer to your Ouarzazate base or an onward stop; check the address on each listing.
