TRENDING DESTINATIONS<br />

Ouarzazate<br />

Known as the 'Hollywood of Morocco', the city of Ouarzazate is home to Ait Ben Haddou fortified village, a UNESCO<br />

<strong>World</strong> Heritage Site, which has served as a filming location for hit movies and telelvision shows, including Gladiator<br />

and Game of Thrones. At the edge of the city, you'll find Taourirt Kasbah, a stunning 19 th century palace. Follow the<br />

maze of stairwells to the top and watch the sun set against the backdrop of Morocco’s desert landscape.<br />

Highlights 1 Meet berber people at Tassoumaat Old District Medina. The cosy neighbourhood promises an authentic local<br />

experience. 2 Watch skilled female artisans work on hanbel carpets and embroidered straw mats at Coopérative de Tissage.<br />

3 Movie buffs can continue the quest for behind the scenes insight by visiting Atlas Film Studios, which is home to lots of old movie<br />

sets and is where scenes for silver screen successes including Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy and The Living Daylights were shot.<br />
