1 Day Trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate & Ait Ben Haddou

go on a captivating journey from Marrakech as dawn breaks, venturing deep into Morocco’s dramatic landscapes. We’ll ascend the serpentine roads of the High Atlas Mountains, soaring over 2,200 meters at the legendary Tizi N’tichka Pass. Pause to drink in sweeping panoramas of remote Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides.

Step back in time at the UNESCO-protected Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou. This magnificent fortress of clay and straw, a star of the silver screen in productions like Game of Thrones, awaits your discovery. Follow your guide through a labyrinth of ancient passages and learn the secrets of this historic citadel.

Next, we press on to Ouarzazate, the fabled desert outpost known as the “Hollywood of Africa.” Delve into the maze-like corridors of the Taourirt Kasbah, a former palace of immense beauty, and perhaps peek behind the scenes of the film world with an optional visit to the Atlas Studios.

As the sun begins its descent, casting a golden glow across the mountains, we begin our scenic return to Marrakech. You’ll be brought back to your hotel in the evening, your day complete with memories of cinematic landscapes and timeless Moroccan culture.
