Appartement City Center

Above the Tassoumaate quarter's shopfronts, this unrated apartment stay puts guests three blocks from Ouarzazate's Avenue Mohammed V, the desert town's main artery toward the Taourirt Kasbah and the film-studio district that made the region famous. Self-catering units suit road-trippers breaking the Marrakech-to-Sahara route and film-crew travelers needing a kitchen rather than room service.

Upper-floor units catch cross-breeze in the afternoon heat before the desert wind picks up at dusk. Ouarzazate's airport lies a short drive north, useful for those linking to Zagora or the Draa Valley the next morning.
