oo..ah.zar..zar..tay ??
I've heard it as both Whar-za-zot and Whar-za-zot-tay. But mostly the first.
War-za-zot
I was told both - "war-za-zat" or "war-za-za-tay"

tongue twister, for sure!
thanks people.
Clueless in Seattle!
LOL shouldn't you be sleepless ??
A few years ago, Brad Pitt was shooting a movie there, can't remember which one - Babal or something like that? There was a piece written on the shooting and I will never forget the guys description of how to pronounce it, it was just too funny.

I don't think I can copy the paragraph here as I don't want to break any rules but basically you have to picture yourself bar hopping, after having had a few too many. You ask the bartender where you should go next, he gives you the name of a bar & as you didn't really catch that, you slur "Where's zat at?" And that's how you pronounce Ouarazazate.....
Hey, that's pretty good LyndaS !!!
Your comical version is very close to sandi's !!
LOL
I can slur with the best of them !
