Hotel Azoul

Across Avenue Mohamed V from Ouarzazate's administrative quarter, Hotel Azoul puts guests within a short walk of the city's kasbah district and the Atlas Corporation Studios — the filming location behind dozens of major desert productions.

Rooms include air conditioning, private balconies, and heating for cold Saharan nights, which drop sharply even in summer. Family rooms are available, and a terrace adds outdoor space above the street. The tour desk arranges desert excursions toward Draa Valley and the Erg Chebbi dunes without requiring a separate agency.

Ouarzazate sits 1,160 metres above sea level on the southern slope of the High Atlas, giving it a dry, clear light that drew film crews long before tourism followed. Parking is on site — useful given the city's spread-out layout.
