Latest Ouarzazate hotel reviews
Helpfulness
This wonderful kasbah near Ouarzazate is one of the best kept in Morocco. It has been background of many Hollywood films: Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, the Jewel of the Nile... Not many people live still here, just 6 families, living from carpet-making and agriculture (and from the tourists too).
There is a new town at the other side of the river, where most of the inhabitants have moved. There are the hotels and restaurants.
To visit, cross the dry river (there are camels to cross too) and enter by the right side, where the souvenir shops are. You can hire a guide, but there's no need to.
To get there, leave Ouarzazate by the road to Marrakesh. After 23 kms there is a little road (paved) to the left, there are signs showing it.

This is one of the best preserved kasbahs we saw. It's in the center of Ouarzazate, to the east, close to the Club Mediterranee.
You can visit the interior and the roofs, from where you can have a beautiful view of the valley and palms around.

Another example of a Kasbah or fortified defensive palace or home. Telouet is further into the Atlas than the better known Ait Ben Haddou.
Warning: It can snow in the mountains in winter!!!

An array of land formations and geographics along the various approaches to the town, makes it a rather picturesque and interesting area to travel around and through.
