Day 1: Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou and Ouarzazate
Ait Ben Haddou - Your tour of Morocco starts from the doorstep of your hotel, where we’ll meet you in the morning, introduce ourselves, and get started on our adventure!
The first part of our trip takes the mountain road from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, going through the Tizi-n-Tichka pass. You’ll get a first look at the true beauty of Morocco’s countryside and see lots of small Berber villages along the way.
Our first stop is Ait Benhaddou: a fortified hilltop that has stood the test of time and become a UNESCO world heritage site thanks to its well-preserved buildings. Ait Benhaddou’s incredible architecture, landscapes, and colours have also been used as the backdrop for a number of Hollywood blockbusters and TV shows, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
We’ll explore the old streets, meet the families that still live there, and make our way to the top of the nearby hill to check out the beautiful surroundings. It’s well worth the time to explore this site, as it’s a one of a kind location and one of Morocco’s finest.
We’ll stop to have lunch and then jump back in the 4×4 to continue onwards to Ouarzazate.
Ouarzazate is an old trading outpost that was the last major settlement before the trading caravans headed into the Sahara. It’s recently had a lot of renovation work, with better infrastructure and places to stay, but hasn’t lost its original charm. Once we’ve arrived, we’ll explore the old kasbah buildings and streets before heading to the hotel for dinner.
We’ll relax for the rest of the evening and get a good night’s rest before the next part of our tour.
