Ouarzazate is a city in southern Morocco that serves as the 'Gateway to the Sahara,' offering access to the desert and the Draa Valley. It is also a major film production hub, home to Atlas Film Studios where many international movies, such as 'Gladiator' and 'Game of Thrones,' were shot. Visitors can tour the studios, explore the historic kasbahs, and enjoy the stark desert landscapes. The city blends traditional Berber culture with a modern film industry vibe.
