Marrakech – Ouarzazate – Dades, Kasbah or similar

Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou - Begin your adventure with a morning pickup from your Marrakech accommodation, traveling in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains. Journey along the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, passing through traditional Berber villages where shepherds tend to their flocks as they have for millennia.

Your first stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Aït Benhaddou kasbah, a historic meeting point for locals and travelers to trade and socialize over the centuries. Enjoy the ambiance at your own pace before heading to a local restaurant for lunch (at your own expense) with your guide.

In the afternoon, continue with your guide to the Skoura oasis. Take a moment to admire the lush, green palm trees that appear like a mirage in the arid desert, then proceed along the Dadès River through dramatic gorges, where ancient kasbah ruins are nestled among traditional Berber villages.

Arrive in Dades by evening, where dinner and accommodation are prepared for you.
