Then, you’ll visit the famous Ksar Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This place is well-known because many famous movies, like *Gladiator*, *Prince of Persia*, and *Game of Thrones*, were filmed here. After lunch, we’ll drive to Ouarzazate, often called “The Gate of the Sahara.” Next, we’ll explore the beautiful oasis valleys of southern Morocco, known as “The Valley of One Thousand Kasbahs.” We’ll pass through the Valley of the Roses and the city of Skoura, where you’ll see large palm groves.
