In just 2-4 hours you can go from walking around the Old Medina’s souks to being in the green countryside or on the Atlantic coast or even in the Sahara Desert. At Home James Morocco, specialise in private chauffeur services and tours around the country. Today we want to talk to you about our fabulous Ouarzazate day trip from Marrakech.
If you would like to travel to the gateway into the Sahara Desert, the city of Ouarzazate is a way to see how you handle the heat (so to speak haha). Ouarzazate has been dubbed the “Hollywood of Morocco” as it is home to Morocco’s biggest film studios that has been the location of many international films such as Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator.
On our tour down south you can stop to visit the movie studios and see the sets (admission price not included), take a tour of the old medina and barter yourself some Berber gems, visit the old kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou and enjoy a thrilling camel ride before hitting the road back to the Red City.
If you’re interested in booking a Ouarzazate day trip from Marrakech with us, call us on +212 6 08 85 51 44. We look forward to being a part of your next holiday.
My mother and I took a trip to Essaouira with Mohammed as our guide. We had a great time. Mohammed was a good and careful driver and he was also kind and conscientious to ensure that we got the most out of our trip. He answered all of our many questions honestly and thoughtfully. Unlike other tours we had experienced in Morocco, there were no hidden or extra costs, and there was no stress! Nothing was a problem and we could really relax!
