Highlights

Day 1: Marrakech - Ait Ben Haddou - Ouarzazate - Dades Valley

Marrakech-Safi - After meeting at 8 am, we’ll leave Marrakech and set off for Ouarzazate. During the journey, which takes approximately 4 hours, we’ll enjoy the spectacular landscapes of the Atlas as we cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass, which is over 2,000 metres high.

At the halfway point of our journey, we’ll stop at the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, which you might recognise from films such as Gladiator or The Kingdom of Heaven. After the brief stop, we’ll resume our journey to reach the town of Ouarzazate, to be amazed by the impressive Kasbah of Taourirt.

Finally, we’ll set off again to travel along the Thousand Kasbahs Road towards Skoura until we arrive approximately 30 minutes before sunset at the Roses Valley. We’ll end the day in the Dades Valley, a unique spot where we’ll enjoy our first night’s accommodation

An unmissable experience - The visit to the desert is totally recommended, it is an unmissable experience. We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the facilities, the meals and the warmth of the staff. As for the route, it is important to keep in mind that it is a long journey. However, the friendliness of the driver makes it very bearable. In addition, the driver provides interesting information during the trip and stops are made at strategic places that enrich the experience.
