What to do during a visit to Ouarzazate ?

Market Street, Rue de la Poste and Rue Mohammed VI delimit the city center, where the main shops, cafes and restaurants of Ouarzazate are concentrated. Take a stroll around the Place du 3 Mars to enjoy the lively evenings. The city’s souk is located on the outskirts of Avenue Mohammed V. For your purchases, go to the Ouarzazate craft center. You can visit the workshops of stonemasons, copper and silver sculptors.
When visiting Ouarzazate, go to the Taourirt kasbah, the former palace of the pasha of Marrakech. It is located opposite the craft center, on the other side of Avenue Mohammed V. This colossal adobe building houses a veritable labyrinth of corridors and staircases, sumptuous rooms. In the fortified village of the kasbah, venture into the maze of shaded streets, the peaceful atmosphere is very pleasant.
In the surroundings of Ouarzazate, you will come across numerous cinema sets, set up in the middle of the desert plateaus. These are often reconstructions of villas, temples and ancient buildings used for the filming of peplums or other American productions. The most interesting settings are found in the Atlas Corporation studios, easily identifiable: monumental Egyptian statues frame the entrance door.
