Many filmmakers have used it as a natural setting in their works.

You will have lunch at a local Berber restaurant in Ait Benhaddou. Following a delectable meal, we will travel via Ouarzazate to Dades Valley. We will stop close to the Atlas Studios to snap some photographs before continuing to the town center to see the gorgeous Taourirt Kasbah, an ancient fortified castle. Following all of that, we will go to the Roses Valley, Dades Valley, and Skoura Palm Grove, where we will spend the first night of our 4 days trip.
