Embark on a Cinematic Journey
One of the undeniable crown jewels of Ouarzazate is the famed Atlas Film Studios. As one of the largest movie studios in the world, it has been the set for iconic films like 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'The Mummy', and parts of 'Game of Thrones'. With Happytripz, you’ll stroll through the remnants of bygone sets and perhaps even witness the magic of filmmaking in action. Like walking through a portal to different worlds, the studios offer up a dazzling array of global architecture and fantastical landscapes.
A Glimpse of History at the Taourirt Kasbah
The Taourirt Kasbah, a historical marvel, stands proudly in the city center. Happytripz guides will share stories of its past glory as you navigate the intricate maze of its interiors. Its earthen walls, a harmony of straw and mud, whisper anecdotes of a time when the Glaoui chiefs ruled. The kasbah's strategic location made it an important stop for traders traversing the Sahara, and now it offers visitors a glimpse into a beautifully preserved slice of history. In fact, as you stand in its ancient chambers, you can almost hear the echoes of caravan bells.
With Happytripz at the helm, you won’t miss the iconic Aït Benhaddou.
The Unspoiled Beauty of Aït Benhaddou
The fortress of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, promises to be the highlight of any sightseeing tour in Ouarzazate. Our Happytripz experts will lead you through the maze of its ancient Kasbah, unfolding before you the stories of its majestic past.

Its undisturbed beauty offers a picturesque backdrop to our tour and a haven of tranquility amidst the buzz of modern life.
