- Musee du Cinema - Ouarzazate, often referred to as the Hollywood of Africa, is a quiet town located on a barren plateau south of the High Atlas Mountains. Predominantly inhabited by Berbers, they built many of the notable Kasbahs and structures for which the area is famous, including the 17th-century Taourirt Kasbah. The town earned its nickname due to its popularity as a filming location, hosting Morocco’s largest studios and attracting numerous international film productions such as Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Living Daylights (1987), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Martin Scorsese’s Kundun (1997), and Babel (2005). Visitors can explore the Cinema Studio, Kasbah Taourirt, and the Museum of Cinema.
- Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou - This fortified Kasbah, constructed in the 11th century, was once a key stop on the caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. Located on a hill along the Ounila River, it features beautiful examples of Kasbah architecture, though they suffer damage from rain and windstorms. While most residents now live in a modern village across the river, about five families still reside within the Kasbah. Ait Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and has served as a filming location for several movies, including Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Time Bandits (1981), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), Kundun (1997), Gladiator (2000), and Alexander (2004).

Great experience - Had an amazing experience with Samad! He took us on a full day trip to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate and everything went great. He was kind and flexible and didn't rush us anywhere so we could take our time. He also stopped on the way a few times so we can take pictures which was very nice. Overall would definitely recommend this service!
