Ouarzazate Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Aït Benhaddou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Game of Thrones filming location! Ait Ben Haddou travel guide
Departing from Marrakech, a 3.5-hour self-drive will take you to a must-visit spot on the loop, the Game of Thrones filming location Ait Ben Haddou!
The village is very small, if you are in a hurry like us, you can stay directly in the village. If you want to stay in a better place, you can go to Ouarzazate first, and then drive back 30km to Ait Ben Haddou village.
You can walk directly to the castle from the main road of the village. As the filming location of 'Game of Thrones', 'The Mummy', and 'Gladiator', it is also very popular among photography enthusiasts, and it's a great place for taking photos!
💡The castle is free of charge🆓, but there is an old man who charges for the nearest shortcut. (Probably because it passes by his house?) Most tourists and group tours go up from the right side of the main road, cross the nearly dry creek, and follow the sign with the large 'Entrance' to the main gate of the castle!
The entire castle is surrounded by red brick walls, with scenery all the way, and various local souvenir shops and handicrafts. You can overlook the entire village from the highest point~ Especially the stairs in front of the highest point of the castle, it's a great place for taking photos!📸
When you come down, you can rest in a local tea house and have a cup of Moroccan mint tea🍃. The terrace view of the tea house we went to was superb! Taking photos gives a sense of Aladdin's magic lamp, full of exotic charm, and the boss is very enthusiastic~☀️
Finally, cross the bridge back to the village, taking photos of the castle from the bridge is also a beautiful spot!🕶
🏨Accommodation
We stayed at the very popular Guest House Bagdad Café in the village, there is a parking space at the door🅿️, and it's very convenient to go to the castle!
Magical Ait Ben Haddou has been the movie set for countless films and TV shows, including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Kingdom of Heaven, and many more.
Magical Ait Ben Haddou. You can still see where the arena was for the Gladiator movie (the circle to the right).

💛 Fez Old City (Yellow)
A true 'museum city', as the largest old city in Morocco, the entire city has a maze-like structure with over 9400 alleys. If you're not careful, you might get 'lost'.
🧡 Sahara Desert (Gold)
No matter which desert you've been to, your heart will eventually settle in the Sahara Desert. It boasts spectacular desert scenery, vast sand seas, exquisite dunes, and charming desert customs. At night, light a 🔥 bonfire and gaze at the beautiful starry sky🌌.

Atlas Studios Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
The desert area if Ouarzazate, situated just south of the Atlas High Mountains, is so popular as a movie production site that you can find an abandoned gladiator arena built there by Hollywood itself. It’s no surprise that Ouarzazate is nicknamed “Morocco’s Hollywood.” You’ll also find cities of brown mud homes and kasbahs, surrounded by oases of green palms, with a giant river gorge cutting through the region. It’s a great area to pick up souvenirs, go hiking, and step foot on some of Morocco’s most ancient sites of civilization. But whether it’s for the shopping, the hiking, the history, or to fulfill your movie-buff dreams, this an area you won’t want to miss on your Moroccan adventure. #awesomepic
After going to Morocco, I realized that there are so many movies in Morocco, and each is a Hollywood blockbuster! The
Hotel Oscar is located next to the Atlas Studios film studio, where guests can visit for free. It offers an outdoor pool and rooms with typical Moroccan dcor.
We are only going to the pool here with the group time. It is recommended to check it out.
The wall is a movie filmed in Morocco in recent years!

Kelaa MGouna Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
On the way to Ouarzazate to the Dades Canyon, there will be a small town called El-Kella-M'gouna. This is the most central part of the Rose Valley. This is not a fake rose valley. There are many rose fields within the radius of the town of M'gouna. These rose fields are hidden on both sides of the road, Damascus Rose. The world's most recognized variety of roses. Many flower fields are private, and the flower fields are not very obvious.
We accidentally parked on the road. We wanted to ask the locals where there was a flower field. We saw a group of Moroccan women coming slowly from the depths of the haystacks. They only said simple French, I We can only explain with them by hand, we are looking for shredded pork, shredded pork! Rose!
The miracle happened at this moment. If there is God help, she will pick up a freshly picked rose from the back of the cloth bag. I can only ask if she can face it. Taking a picture of the rose, she nodded and agreed, and the women around her smiled at us. When I was about to take pictures of the flowers in the grass, she made another act that surprised me, took the cloth bag on her body, and twisted it into a piece of cloth, padded on the floor, and several other women. I poured a lot of roses from the bags in their backs and put them on the cloth. In order to give me a photo prop, I gave me the whole bag of roses.
The ancient villages that can be regarded as Xanadu in the impression are mostly hidden between the green mountains and the green waters. They have quaint village roads, old constructions, and people who live without the world. But in the Gobi Oasis on the edge of the Sahara Desert, in the depths of the desert, there are many Borbers who live on the desert.
An oasis will form in the desert where the dark river emerges from the ground. The oasis grows with lush date palms. The Berbers open up farmland in the date palm, raise camels, and build houses with Gobi sand as building materials. Slowly form a village. In the village, you can experience the life of the Berbers in the Gobi. During the day, the camels are stocked on the Gobi Desert. At night, the camels are taken back and live a simple and happy life.

Evelan is known as the "small Switzerland" and winter is also a ski resort. The orange spired single-family villas in the field of vision make people feel the comfort of the environment. The
city sign is a stone lion carved by a German during World War II.
In general, Evelyn, who is famous outside, is far less obsessed with the scenery on his way. In just a few hours on the road, the pastoral pastoral landscape paintings are ridiculously vast in the United States, and every frame is like walking in a movie.
