Book a transfer from Marrakech to Ouarzazate — crossing the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass to reach Morocco's "Hollywood of Africa" and gateway to the Sahara Desert.
The 200 km journey takes 4 to 4.5 hours via the N9 highway, climbing through the High Atlas Mountains and crossing the dramatic Tizi n'Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters. The scenery is extraordinary — from lush valleys to barren mountain peaks, Berber villages clinging to hillsides, and the sudden contrast of the pre-Saharan landscape on the southern side.
Ouarzazate is known as the "Hollywood of Africa" thanks to its famous Atlas Film Studios, where movies like Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones were filmed. The stunning Ait Benhaddou kasbah — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of red-earth fortified villages — sits just 30 km away. Ouarzazate is also the starting point for excursions into the Draa Valley, Dades Gorge, Todra Gorge, and deeper into the Sahara Desert.
