Why Morocco
Why UAE travellers love Morocco.
UAE 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 United Arab Emirates
Emirates and Royal Air Maroc link Dubai with Casablanca nonstop in about 9 hours, with a quick hop on to Marrakech (RAK); Etihad and flydubai add further options. Marrakech is the gateway to Ouarzazate, a ~4-hour drive over the Tizi n'Tichka pass.
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?
GCC nationals and residents are warmly received in Morocco; most Gulf nationals enter visa-free or with simple entry formalities for up to 90 days, which covers a trip to Ouarzazate. Check your specific nationality, and carry a passport valid for six months beyond arrival.
Time difference
Ouarzazate is about 3 hours behind United Arab Emirates (Morocco stays on UTC+1 year-round).
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.
