Hotels in Ouarzazate, Morocco

Ouarzazate sits at the edge of Morocco's Sahara Desert, famous for its Atlas Film Studios where movies like *Gladiator* and *Game of Thrones* were filmed. The climate brings scorching summers (up to 40°C/104°F) and mild winters (around 20°C/68°F), so winter is your best bet for exploring the UNESCO-listed Aït Benhaddou kasbah without melting. If you visit in summer, stick to early mornings or evenings to tour the studios and catch sunset over the desert dunes.
