Why Morocco
Why Spanish travellers love Morocco.
Spanish travellers come to Ouarzazate for the cinema and the silence: the UNESCO kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, the Atlas and CLA film studios behind countless blockbusters, the Taourirt kasbah, and the gateway road through the Draa and Dadès valleys to the Sahara dunes — all reached via Marrakech and a scenic drive over the High Atlas, where a private trip turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
Getting there
Flights from Spain
Spain is just across the strait — direct flights from Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga and Seville reach Marrakech (RAK) in 1.5–2.5 hours. From Marrakech, the gateway airport, a ~4-hour drive over Tizi n'Tichka brings you into Ouarzazate.
Best arrival airports: Marrakech (RAK), then ~4h over Tizi n'Tichka; small Ouarzazate airport (OZZ). We meet every guest in arrivals and drive you door to door — see airport transfers.
Do you need a visa?
As an EU/Schengen passport holder you enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days, which covers any trip to Ouarzazate. No advance visa is needed for tourism — a passport valid for the duration of your stay is enough, though six months' validity is the safe standard.
Time difference
Ouarzazate shares the same clock as Spain for most of the year (UTC+1), so there is effectively no jet lag to adjust to.
When to go
The best time to visit.
March–May and September–November are ideal for Ouarzazate — warm, clear days, cool desert evenings, and the golden light that draws film crews to the kasbahs and Aït Ben Haddou. High summer (June–August) is very hot and dry; winters are mild by day with crisp, cold nights, and the High Atlas passes above town can hold snow into spring.
