1 DAY 1 : Private Day Trip from Marrakech To Ouarzazate and Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou

Take a private full-day adventure exploring the beauty of Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou and Ouarzazate, starting bright and early at 7:00 AM with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or riad. We'll journey eastward from Marrakech, crossing the stunningly scenic High Atlas Mountains and the Tizi Ntichka pass, making plenty of stops along the way to take in the breathtaking views, snap photos, stretch our legs, and savor a cup of delicious coffee. Our first stop will be the charming Ait Benhaddou village, famous for being a filming location for Star Wars and designated by UNESCO as a valuable cultural treasure. The village is known for its impressive fortified walls, crenelated towers, and beautiful buildings adorned with striking geometric designs. Currently, only five families live in this historic village, but restoration efforts are underway to encourage more people to return. Next, we'll explore Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. Our visit will include a stop at the stunning Taourirt Kasbah, considered one of the most outstanding kasbahs in Morocco. It's a former Glaoui residence that features a maze of opulent apartments, modest clay houses, and crenelated towers, all intricately decorated with beautiful geometric patterns. You'll have some leisure time to savor a cup of mint tea or coffee before we head back to Marrakech later in the afternoon, crossing the High Atlas Mountains once more.
