Where the journey begins
This full-day guided excursion takes you from the hurly burly of Marrakech, starting with an arranged pickup from your accommodation by your driver or guide early in the morning. As you travel, enjoy the breath taking view of the landscapes and the gorgeous elevated scenery of Atlas Mountains. Relish the scenic views while crossing over the highest road pass in Morocco, Tizin-Tichka (over 2000 meters).
Explore the Berber village of Telouet and the Kasbah which was once the seat of El Glaoui family’s power, a castle that used to gather the strong Glaoui tribe’s leaders. Drive through the stunning and tranquil Ounila Valley, which welcomes you with the impressive views of the green fertile valleys, arid hillsides and slopes. A lunch pause will take place whether at some restaurant on the way or until you arrive to Ait Ben Haddou.
Following your lunch, discover Ait Ben Haddou, the popular setting for films where more than 20 movies and series have been shot, namely The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Alexander (2004), Babel (2006), Prince of Persia (2010) and Game of Thrones third season (2013).
Besides, it used to be an important point along the caravan route which traders brought through gold, ivory and slaves from Sub-Saharan countries to Marrakech.
Take a stroll through the narrow muddy streets of the Kasbah which are characterized with the ancient Moroccan architecture that gives an exclusive insight into the life of earlier times. Afterwards, you will be taken back to Marrakech where you will be dropped off at your accommodation safe and sound.
