Ouarzazate is the first town most people see after crossing the High Atlas and is the unofficial capital of the south of Morocco. Formerly a Foreign Legion outpost in the southern Kasbah region, it has been notably used as a location backdrop by many epic films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Jesus of Nazareth. An incredible day out from Marrakech or useful as a staging post for adventures further south in the Sahara, the Todra and Dades Gorges and the many oases of the South. Ouarzazate is also home to the Atlas Film Studios which offers a tour when large-scale filming is not taking place.
