Quick answer: Ouarzazate is a city in southern Morocco, about 200 km (around 4 hours by road) from Marrakech over the Tizi n’Tichka pass in the High Atlas. Known as the gateway to the desert, it is famous for the Taourirt Kasbah, its film studios and the nearby UNESCO-listed ksar of Ait Ben Haddou. From Ouarzazate, the roads lead to the Draa Valley and Zagora, and to the Dades Valley, the Todra Gorges and the Merzouga dunes.
