Highlights

Ait Ben Haddou - Classified as a “UNESCO World Heritage Site”, it has been the backdrop for many films. You take a detour to the Ksar of Ait Benhaddou, an Arab fortress from the XI century, and its Kasbah declared a world heritage site and historical treasure by UNESCO. The Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou is a good example of traditional Berber architecture. Its strategic location allows us to observe a landscape riddled with colours and became a mandatory stop for the old routes from Timbuktu to Marrakech, after the visit of the village we will continue to reach the city of Ouarzazate to visit another world heritage kasbah of Taourirte and the cinema studios, before driving back to Marrakech through the road of Caravans crossing the tichka pass of 2260 M high enjoying its amazing landscapes.
