From Blockbusters to Natural Wonders: The Magic of Ouarzazate & Fint Oasis | MOROCCO
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 08. 2023
- Ouarzazate, also known as Ouarzawood (due to all the Hollywood blockbusters that have been filmed at Atlas Studios and the surrounding areas) was one of our favourite places in Morocco.
We hired a taxi for the day to explore Ouarzazate. Our driver Ali was friendly, punctual and although there was a bit of a language barrier, we had a wonderful day exploring Ouarzazate thanks to all his local knowledge.
If you book with Ali, please let him know you found him through our video 🙂 You can reach him by through WhatsApp or SMS text.

gosh I didn't realise there were all these permanent sets haha. But those landscapes are *gorgeous*
😅 neither did we! There were movie sets everywhere in Ouazazate. Such a cool place
Beautiful place that you are showing when others vloggers didn't show about morocco.
Thank you 😊 🙏
nice little trip and something different about Morrocco away from the usual big cities stuff.
😁 yes! Love these kind of trips and Yen and I really enjoy finding unique gems like this. Ouazazate ❤️ 🇲🇦
The colours, Blue primary with "clay" being secondary, makes a striking video/short! Ah back to the vlog, Atlas Studio, predictable weather and with abundance of light, makes it for producers to plan their shoots🎥
The food, love the "clay pot/sizzling" cooking style, closes thing to bliss, just curious, what was the temperature like in the evening
Thanks again for a great vlog and have a great week ahead. Yes, had a lot of comfort food last week 😄, curry laksa and satay
🤤 mmmmm curry laksa... Yen would be drooling from the satay. That's the good stuff.
What was I talking about o yes 😂🏜 the temperature is quite pleasant while the sun is out then pretty chilly at night so luckily those mud houses hold a lot of the warmth from the day.
I love your video and the place it was taken was a great place. Thanks
Thanks Bob, this was one of our favorite places this whole trip. Magical experience
So this is what an Oasis looks like. Great scenery. Excellent video, guys. Well done.
Quite an adventure saw lots of things for the first time 😁
Wow, realistic movie locations and tempting food, I hope to have the opportunity to experience it for myself in the near future.
Love to watch, good job guys as usual ❤❤😍🥰🫶👍
😁❤️ hope you enjoyed

Morocco is a great welcoming country, but that region is even more special.
It was such a gem of a place and our favourite that we visited in Morocco 🙂
More bugs!!! 😁😁😁😁 Thanks Ali and Abdul!! Day looked amazing and food looked even more amazing 😋😋😋😋 “wow” is a description of food I completely understand… nothing more needs to be said… what an awesome awesome day and all the places you guys went to didn’t look crowded which must have been a huge bonus… Love the landscape and the shots…and the tidbits of wildlife in the vid. Thanks guys and looking forward to Greece!! Safe travels!!
Thanks mate 😁 this was one of our most memorable days on this entire trip. Had a blast and saw a lot of unique off the beaten path things and ate incredible tajines at Abduls family restaurant. Unforgettable times. 2 more from Morocco then over to Greece 🇬🇷 😁
Movie sets are amazing
They really are! 😁 So glad we randomly came across this one and decided to go

I loved your trip through Morocco. I plan to go at the end of April with my motorhome and visit many of the places you have been to, so the information and images you have published have been very useful to me. You are very nice, polite and friendly, thank you. From Seville Spain.😊
By the way, I see that you haven't published any video about Spain, don't you know it? You will love it, we are happy, hospitable and warm. Also, since I see that you like gastronomy, you cannot miss one of the countries in the world where the best food is, you will love it! Cheer up! You are invited.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 Yen and I do plan on visiting Spain sometime in the future 🤞
Unbelievably gorgeous 😊. Morocco 🇲🇦 is amazing 👏
Thanks Daryl ❤️ 😁 had an unbelievable trip. This day was one of our favorite highlights over the last half year.

Another excellent vlog guys. Very entertaining; even down to the little deets, like sound effects for the frog 😂
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 😁 Yen does a lot to the videos after I cut them up and put them all together. She'll add things like color grading and sound effects.
Oh and text, transitions and any little effects 😁 team work haha 🐸
@@PeterandYen The teamwork is very evident, even the way you two support each other. It's a beautiful thing.
Thank you 😊🙏

When I was young, I used to think the majority of the stuff from the movie set was real. It's an eye-opener to learn that they're made from plastic and cardboard. It looked so real and expensive in the movie, lol. The camera magic ✨️🪄. The oasis is so incredible, guys. I would drone that place if I was there to get a bird's eyes view (if allowed). It's a good thing I watched this video with a full tummy, I would love to have Yen's soup. It's my stepmother's birthday today, so we went out and have Japanese dinner.
We had to give our drone to our friend in Italy before going to Morocco otherwise it would have been confiscated 😅 drone is such a unusable piece of equipment hahahaha. Yum Japanese is always good 🤤
@PeterandYen You're not allowed to bring a drone to Morocco? Do you allow to drone at all in Italy? I noticed that you don't drone much in your NZ videos, too. I love drone, I tried to use it whenever I could following the drone rules, of course. Australia is quite relaxed when it comes to drone but a big NO in a national park of some states.
Strict drone laws in Morocco that it was easier not to bring it in at all 😅 Italy in some parts you can but the places we would've liked to use it, it's not allowed. In NZ it's become even more strict over the years too so it's unfortunately become quite a redundant piece of equipment for us sadly! Same with NZ, national parks are a big no except like a third of the country is considered a national park hahaha so yea that's why hardly any drone footage in our videos these days!
@PeterandYen Oh no. How sad, I was planning to drone when I went to NZ 😭. Western Australia, you can drone in many places, including national parks. Some national parks you can not, there's a sign otherwise you can drone. I think the same for QLD. In NSW, you need to ask for a permit from the national park you're planning to go to, depending on approval but outside a national park and if you following the CASA rules you can drone anywhere. So many people own a drone in Australia. It's like almost the people i met on the road has a drone lol.

Looks as if you'd another beautiful day out, and such friendly locals yet again 😊
The Egyptian sets reminded me of the newest space in Hamilton Gardens, although I'm not sure that's been used in many films 🎬
Oooo yes! Want to go check out that new Egyptian garden in Hamilton 😁 thanks for the reminder.
Omg my friend met you guys at huffer new market 😂

@10:16 Far from the crowd, to have some peace. Smart bird.

Thank you! 😁 It was a wonderful day!
@@PeterandYen you’re welcome
Great vlog!how much does the day out by ali cost?
Welcom
Ourzazate et partir vite
where does the water in the oasis come from?
A lot of the time the water in an oasis is from an underground spring ✨️
On Google, it says that Kasbah Tazentoute is "Temporarily closed". Any idea why and whether it will be open again late October?
Most likely because Abdul just got married a few days ago 😁 we'll send him a message and see if they'll be open late October
He said they will be and look forward to welcoming you 🙂👍
@@PeterandYen Great! Thanks for checking!
Sure it beautiful, but barely see anyone there? Is it safe?
Ouazazate in general is a very safe area. There were less people in the Oasis as it is a off the beaten path adventure. If you want to know more about visiting Morocco we have a video coming up in 2 weeks that will be very helpful for you.
I think you live in an unsafe country, that's why you think Morocco is unsafe, but my country Morocco is very safe
المغرب بلد الأمن والأمان
you left out auzzie and the canuks 16:18
The Moroccan guide(s) should have helped you with the pronunciation of the city name, by writing it in English on a piece of paper , so you can pronounce it *_Warzazat._*
What is Ali's phone number, please? He seems a nice guy. We are visiting Ouarzazte in July. BTW, is it too hot to visit at that time?
Hello his details are in the video's description section 🙂 not sure about July coz we visited in May but it was already pretty hot then! Hope you have a good time regardless though
