Day Trip to Ouarzazate and Aït Ben Haddou
This exciting day trip takes you across the majestic High Atlas Mountains, passing through the famous Tizi N’Tichka Pass, which stands at 2260 meters (1412 miles), the highest in Africa. As you drive, you’ll see traditional Berber villages nestled into the mountainsides, blending seamlessly with their rocky surroundings.
Once you descend the mountains, the landscape transforms into a semi-arid, desert-like terrain. Here, you’ll encounter the unique Kasbah architecture, characterized by peach-colored adobe houses with turrets and grilled windows, designed to suit the southern climate.
Your journey continues through picturesque valleys until you reach the ancient kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. After exploring this iconic kasbah, you’ll head to Ouarzazate, often called the “Moroccan Hollywood,” where famous films like Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, and Kingdom of Heaven were filmed.
In Ouarzazate, you can also visit the Taourirt Kasbah, another UNESCO-listed site, and, if you’re interested, stop by one of the local cinema studios to dive into the region’s film history.
