After a hearty breakfast, our exploration of Ouarzazate begins with a visit to the enchanting Taourirt Kasbah, a 17th-century palace constructed entirely from mud. You have the option to explore independently or hire an official guide to delve into the intricate details of this historic site. Don’t miss the elaborately decorated rooms and the stunning window views.

Our next stop is the Atlas Film Studios, an exciting destination that serves as an active film production hub. You might even have the chance to witness the shooting of a Hollywood production or spot renowned actors like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.

We then proceed to one of the most spectacular sites in southern Morocco – Ksar Ait Benhaddou. This fully mud-built village is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcasing the pre-Saharan clay building architecture. The structures date back to the 17th century, offering a captivating glimpse into the construction techniques of southern Morocco.

Leaving Ait Benhaddou behind, we embark on a journey across the High Atlas Mountains, reaching altitudes exceeding 2000 meters. The mountain crossing treats us to breathtaking views, especially during the winter months when the region may be covered in snow. This transition from the Sahara Desert to the vibrant city of Marrakech is truly awe-inspiring.

Upon reaching Marrakech, you’ll be comfortably transported to your riad or hotel, marking the end of another day filled with diverse experiences and cultural richness.
