From Blockbusters to Natural Wonders: The Magic of Ouarzazate & Fint Oasis | MOROCCO
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.

🍽️ Dinner was at Kasbah Tazentout
The friendliness and hospitality were as wonderful as the food. It's about a 12 minute walk from our Airbnb accommodation.

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.
Beautiful place that you are showing when others vloggers didn't show about morocco.

You wouldn't believe it if I said it was snowing there
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.

@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.
@PeterandYen
11 ай бұрын
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.

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.
