  • Admission ticket not included
After our photo stop, we will continue on to the city of Ouarzazate. While the Atlas Film Studios are a popular attraction, a full tour takes about an hour and may delay our arrival at the hotel. For this reason, we will make a brief stop outside the studios for photos only. If you're interested in a more in-depth experience, we also offer a guided day trip to Ouarzazate, which allows more time to explore both the city and the studios, known for hosting the production of many international films. Even from the outside, the studios offer great views and photo opportunities.
