Itinerary

After picking you up at your accommodation, we start our adventure early in the morning, departing from Marrakesh in a modern and air-conditioned vehicle. 

Our first challenge is the ascent of the Tizi n'Tichka pass, located at 2,260 meters above sea level, where the panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains will take your breath away. 

On the way, we will stop in the picturesque village of Ait Ben Barka, near Toufliht, to stretch our legs and immerse ourselves in local life. We continue to Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa”, home to the famous Atlas Film Studios. (Entrance not included in the price).

Here, you will have the opportunity to discover the sets of the studios where iconic movies were filmed such as “Gladiator” and “The Mummy”. 

Afterwards, we head to the jewel in the crown: the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. This impressive ksar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been the backdrop for countless film productions and is a living testimony to traditional adobe architecture. 

After exploring its narrow streets and soaking up history, we return to Marrakesh, taking with us indelible memories of an unforgettable day.
