The excursion begins in Marrakech, from where you will head south through the impressive Tizi n’Tichka mountain pass, offering panoramic views of the High Atlas landscapes and small Berber villages nestled along the hillsides. Along the way, you’ll enjoy several stops to admire the spectacular valleys and capture beautiful photos of the natural surroundings.

The journey continues toward the majestic Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, an ancient fortified ksar recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This iconic location, with its beautifully preserved adobe architecture, has been the setting for numerous international film productions such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia. You’ll have the opportunity to wander through its narrow alleys, cross its old bridge, and enjoy the stunning views over the surrounding valley.

Afterward, the trip proceeds to Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Desert,” famous for its film studios and historic kasbahs. Here you will visit the Kasbah of Taourirt, once the residence of the powerful Pasha El Glaoui, and discover its fascinating history and traditional architecture. If time permits, you may also visit the Kasbah of Tiffoultoute or the Atlas Film Studios, where many well-known movies have been filmed.

Finally, after a pleasant lunch at a local restaurant, you’ll begin the return journey to Marrakech, once again enjoying the changing landscapes of the Atlas Mountains and reflecting on a day filled with culture, history, and natural beauty.
