Snake charmer in Ouarzazate, Morocco
Story
Roll through Ouarzazate if you're crossing from Marrakech to the desert, but know it's a town of film studios and hotels rather than romance. Atlas Studios and its neighbors draw bus tours; locals say the sets are fun if you love cinema, forgettable if you don't. Treat it as a practical overnight, not a destination.
