Discover traditional villages, spectacular mountain landscapes, and the famous fortified village of Ait Benhaddou on a day trip from Marrakech. Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned van or car, with Wi-Fi available during the journey.
Begin your day with pickup from your Marrakech accommodation between 7:00 and 8:00 AM. Settle into your vehicle and admire the scenery as you travel through the Atlas Mountains.
Stop at the village of Ait Ben Barka, near the hills of Toufliht, for a break and a glimpse of local life. Your driver will explain the day’s itinerary before you continue towards the Tizi n’Tichka pass.
At 2,260 metres above sea level, pause to take photos of the mountain peaks and panoramic views before continuing towards Ouarzazate.
Discover the region’s filmmaking heritage with a guaranteed stop at the Cinema Museum in Ouarzazate, where you can choose to visit the museum instead of the Atlas Film Studios. Alternatively, a visit to the Atlas Film Studios may be arranged if the majority of the group prefers this option. The museum stop is guaranteed; the Atlas Film Studios visit depends on the group’s choice. Admission fees are payable separately.
Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant, at your own expense, before exploring Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its earthen architecture and cinematic setting.
Enjoy free time to discover Ait Benhaddou independently and at your own pace. Wander through its narrow passageways, admire the traditional buildings, and capture photos of this remarkable fortified village. This visit is self-guided.
After a day of discovery, relax in your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle on the return journey to Marrakech.
