| Ouarzazate is the gateway to the Draa Valley from Marrakesh and located 30 minutes east of Ait Benhaddou. |
 |
| The kasbah is home to the Krupp field gun given to the Glaoui's family by the Moroccan sultan in 1893. At the time, this was the only cannon in Morocco not owned by the imperial family, and it enabled the Glaoua army to consolidate control of the route to Marrakesh from the desert. |
 |
| Many films and shows like Game of Thrones were shot here. |
 |
| There is a film museum across from the kasbah. The crummy tour we were on only allowed us 15 minutes in the city so we chose to look around the fortress. |
 |
| The journey from Ouarzazate to Timbuktu took around 52 days by camel. |
