Reach the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Benhaddou, a historic ksar (fortified village) that dates back centuries. Stroll through the narrow, winding streets of this ancient village, where clay-brick houses cling to the hillside. Admire the striking kasbahs and the breathtaking views from the top of the hill. Learn about the site’s historical importance as a trading post and its role as a filming location for iconic movies such as Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
Enjoy a delicious Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant near Ait Benhaddou. Relish traditional dishes such as tagine, couscous, or grilled meats while soaking in the views of the surrounding desert landscape.
Continue to the nearby city of Ouarzazate, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Desert.” Visit the famous Taourirt Kasbah, a stunning example of Moroccan architecture that once served as a residence for the Glaoui family. Explore the labyrinthine corridors and rooms, learning about its historical and cultural significance.
For film enthusiasts, a stop at the Atlas Film Studios is a highlight. This renowned studio has hosted productions for blockbuster movies and series, including Lawrence of Arabia and The Mummy. Wander through the sets and gain insight into Morocco’s role in the global film industry.
Conclude your day with a peaceful drive back to Marrakech. As the sun sets over the Atlas Mountains, take in the stunning hues of the desert landscape, arriving back in the city by early evening.
Journey through Morocco’s soul, where timeless traditions, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable moments await your discovery.
