The Oasis of Fint, located about 10 km south of Ouarzazate, is a hidden paradise in the arid landscape of southern Morocco. This lush valley, fed by underground springs, has been a vital resource for local Berber communities for centuries. The oasis is home to four traditional villages: Ait Touaia, Ait Laârouss, Ait Ibrour, and Ait Kaddour, each with its own unique character and history.

The region's strategic importance dates back to the time of ancient caravan routes connecting sub-Saharan Africa to Morocco's imperial cities. The oasis served as a crucial stop for traders and travelers, providing water and respite from the harsh desert environment.

Kasbah Tifoultoute, perched on a hill overlooking Oued (River) Tifoultoute, was built in the 17th century by the Glaoui family, powerful feudal lords who controlled much of southern Morocco. The kasbah's strategic location allowed the Glaouis to monitor and tax trade along the river valley. In the 1960s, the kasbah gained international fame when it was converted into accommodation for the cast and crew of "Lawrence of Arabia," marking the beginning of the region's association with the film industry.

The Atlas Film Studios, founded in 1983 by Mohamed Belghmi, has played a pivotal role in transforming Ouarzazate into "The Hollywood of Africa." The studios have attracted numerous international productions, capitalizing on the region's diverse landscapes, reliable weather, and skilled local workforce. This burgeoning film industry has become a significant economic driver for the area, providing employment and boosting tourism.
