Ait Benhaddou, Ouarzazate |Travel agency in Marrakech

This day trip allows you to traverse the entire High Atlas mountain range via the Tizi n'Tichka pass, Africa's highest road pass.

We come across the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a complex made of clay and stone surrounded by walls with several beautifully decorated homes and buildings, 190 kilometers from Marrakech, while crossing the high mountains of the High Atlas through the Tizin Tichka pass, which offers extraordinary landscapes. This complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most beautiful in southern Morocco.

The beauty of this region is highly regarded by film producers who have made several films here (including Gladiator, Spy Game, and The Hunger Games). 

Lawrence of Arabia, among many others). Locals in this region welcome the film industry as an additional source of income for their work as extras in films.

In this area, nestled between the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert, there are several kasbahs, all of which are sand-colored, forming small Berber villages that benefit from the Atlas' abundance of water for their small farms and livestock.

The tour is split into three sections. The first stop is at Tizi n'Tichka's summit, the second at the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, and the third in Ouarzazate.

In the late afternoon, return to Marrakech.
