Ouarzazate Private Tour: Kasbah Aït Benhaddou from Marrakesh

Leave Marrakesh far behind as you journey toward Ouarzazate, making way through the High Atlas Mountains through a scenic pass. Along the way, you’ll come across hairpin bends, natural landscapes, traditional villages, and kasbahs that are unique to the higher valleys.

Stopover at the ancient Ksar of Ait Benhaddou, a Berber village located on the side of a hill overlooking the Draa valley. Surrounded by palm trees and sand, this UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts a classical example of the kasbah, built with adobe and mud and surrounded by towers meant for defensive purposes. Having served as a backdrop for renowned movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, The Jewel of the Nile, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones, this city offers an interesting and enriching experience.

Move on to Ouarzazate, a sandy-colored oasis that claims to be Morocco’s Hollywood. This dusty Sahara town offers a unique combination of arid and dry North African landscapes and green valleys. Tour this city of palm trees, sandy streets, and blocky, fort-like building respecting the traditional Morrocan architecture and bask in a certain calm that is to be found here. Bursting with myriad wonders this diverse region will certainly leave you astonished.
