Things to do in Ouarzazate, Souss-Massa-Draa Region: The Best Cultural Tours

January 8, 2022 Darwin Bolte

The tiny Moroccan town of Ouarzazate is a caramel-colored oasis set against a clear blue African sky. Be inspired by Ait Benhaddou, a beautifully preserved Kasbah that's a UNESCO World Heritage site, or walk in the starry path of celebrities by taking a tour of one of Ouarzazate's two movie studios. Tour the surrounding dunes on camel-back, or simply bask in the quiet bustle of the bargaining sessions at local markets.

We did a 6 day trip starting in Marrakech and finishing in Casablanca. I definitely recommend booking with Morocco Soul Tours. Communication was great from the start as it took some time to tailor the trip to everything we wanted to do. Youssef was our driver and guide and he was fantastic and had a great knowledge of Morocco. We got to stay a night in the Sahara and had a local guide show us around Fes. We booked our own hotels though as found that it was cheaper that way. The car was clean, safe, and comfortable. Overall, recommend booking with them. It is difficult to hit all of the spots on your own given the size of the country and how far places are from each other. You need a car to get around, and recommend a driver that knows the area.

Wanderlust helped my family and I to plan a multi week tour through Morocco, including stays in Tangier, Fes, Chefchaouen, Marrakech, Essaouira, and others. Ibrahim, our driver and primary guide, helped us get throughout the country and took spectacular care of us like we were his own family, to include my toddler who began waking up every day asking to "Ride in the bus with Mr Ibrahim". Megan proposed a great itinerary, which allowed us to have a relaxing family adventure. Thank you for such a memorable time!

We booked a 3 day tour to the Sahara , We are two girls and felt extremely safe the entire time.we have the most incredible stay in morocco due to this tour it was completely over our expectations ! Jamal our tour guide and Omar, our driver were the best! They were both so nice and were so informative explaining all the sights along the way. All the towns we passed through were so beautiful but my favourite part of the whole trip was the desert. We went to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi Dunes and got to spend a night in tents in the Sahara Desert! We got to ride a camel to the desert camp and that was the funnest experience. All the riads we stayed in and the restaurants were fabulous choices. I highly recommend booking a tour with this company MCL . Jamal was so helpful in planning the whole experience and was always readily available on whats app. We truly cannot wait to go back to Morocco.

We had an absolutely brilliant tour with Adil. He arrived at our accommodation and asked what we were most interested to see. After discussing this and confirming we did not want a shopping tour, we headed off. Adil is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Fez and Morocco. He took us to the key sites and around the Medina, explaining things as we went, answering our questions and discussing Moroccan life and culture. He put us at ease in the complicated and bustling streets of the Medina and gave us a list of things not to miss after the tour. Our tour with him was absolutely excellent. It is such a nice introduction to Fez and the key sites around the Medina, getting local insight and a history lesson, without worrying about getting lost or being touted by shop keeps. Highly recommend it and sincere thanks to Adil. He was fantastic.
