1. Atlas Studios
If you're looking for things to do in Ouarzazate, visit Atlas Studios—Morocco's most famous studios—next to the Hotel Oscar. Guided tours start every 45 minutes, and the price is discounted if you're a guest of the hotel. It isn't Disney World, but you do get a sense of just how many productions have rolled through town—including Hollywood blockbusters like The Mummy and Gladiator, and classics like Cleopatra and Lawrence of Arabia. Ask for Mohammed Brad Pitt as your tour guide. For another angle on the Ouarzazate film industry, check out the rather grand-looking kasbah off to the right just out of town on the way to Skoura. One enterprising local producer, frustrated by the increasingly expensive charges being levied on film crews wanting to film around real kasbahs, decided to build his own and undercut the competition.

2. Fint Oasis
TarmigteAbout 20 km (12 miles) outside of town, heading south via Tarmigte, the picturesque Fint Oasis is a popular destination for day-trippers. The track leading to it is rough but can be handled in a standard vehicle if you drive with extreme care. Head off-road toward the dark, rocky escarpment and the track eventually meets the river, where palm trees spring into view. You can walk through Amazigh villages along the riverbed and stop for a simple lunch at one of the few local auberges. Many agencies in Ouarzazate can arrange half- or full-day guided visits to the oasis.

3. Kasbah Taourirt
Once a Glaoui palace, the Kasbah Taourirt is the oldest and finest building in Ouarzazate. This rambling edifice was built of pisé (a sun-dried mixture of mud and clay) in the late 19th century by the so-called Lords of the Atlas. It is worth hiring a guide at the entrance to take you around for about 100 DH.

4. Museum of Memory
Douar IhzganeConstructed and entirely funded by schoolteacher Abdelmoula el Moudahab, this small but fascinating private museum houses a collection of traditional Amazigh costumes, artifacts, manuscripts, and antiques belonging to several generations of local families. Abdelmoula, who speaks good English, can explain tribal differences and describe the various types of kasbahs and holy shrines found in the Skoura region.
