Atlas Studios is a film studio situated about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) west of Ouarzazate, Morocco. The studio's grounds mostly extend across nearby desert and mountain landscapes. Numerous movie sets remain on site, making it a popular spot for guided tours and tourism. Founded in 1983 by entrepreneur Mohamed Belghmi, Atlas Studios has grown steadily thanks to the region’s stable climate and its versatile natural environment, which can convincingly replicate various global landscapes for film productions.
Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the High Atlas foothills, is the most iconic ksar in the Ounila Valley and a prime example of traditional earthen architecture in southern Morocco. Built mainly in the 17th century, it features clustered homes, a mosque, granaries, a caravanserai, and cemeteries within fortified walls. Once a key stop on trans-Saharan trade routes, it preserves its original design using earth and wood. Conservation efforts have helped maintain its authenticity despite challenges.

Experience Tizi n'Tichka, one of Morocco’s highest roads, with stunning panoramic views at every turn.
