Hotels in Ouarzazate, Morocco
Ouarzazate sits in southern Morocco at the edge of the Sahara, famous for its Atlas Film Studios and the UNESCO-listed kasbah of Aït Benhaddou. The desert climate means scorching summers (over 100°F / 38°C) that are best avoided, but mild winters (around 60°F / 15°C) are perfect for touring movie sets where Hollywood epics like *Lawrence of Arabia* were filmed. In spring or fall, you can hike through the Dadès Gorges or take a camel ride into the dunes near Zagora, while winter gives you cooler days for exploring the ancient mud-brick villages without the heat.
