Ouarzazate was mainly made up of two villages a century ago (Taourirt and Tassoumaate), that when the French arrived and made the city center, eventually connect the two villages, giving shape to modern-day Ouarzazate.

Nowadays Ouarzazate is a clean and beautiful city surrounded by mountains and blue sky.
