Memorable Marrakech Day Tour to Ait Ben Haddou: A Stunning Excursion
Marrakech Day Tour to Ait Ben Haddou: A Stunning Excursion Experience the stunning beauty of Ait Ben Haddou on a guided tour from Marrakech. Departing at 8:00 am in the morning, you will be transported to Ouarzazate via the Tichka Pass, the highest road pass in Morocco. The breathtaking panoramic views of the High Atlas Mountains and the magnificent landscapes, dotted with small Berber villages, are truly unforgettable.
Your first stop will be at the Kasbah of Telouet, occupied by the Pacha Glaoui during his reign. The Harem and reception hall areas provide a glimpse into the former luxury in which El Glaoui lived, and the Andalusian style of decoration is evident. Despite the older parts of the Kasbah being in ruins, exploring the crumbling passageways is like walking through a maze, making it an exciting and unique experience.
Next, you will visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Benhaddou, one of the most impressive and well-preserved fortress cities in Morocco. Perched atop a hilltop, this location has inspired many movie makers, including the Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia. The view from the upper heights of the Kasbah is awe-inspiring and worth the climb through the winding, narrow streets.
After visiting Ait Benhaddou, you will have some time to relax and enjoy a cup of mint tea or coffee in Ouarzazate, which marks the beginning of the Sahara desert, but with no actual dunes in the area. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Taourirt Kasbah, a former Glaoui residence and considered one of the most beautiful kasbahs in Morocco. The kasbah consists of a maze of luxury apartments, simple clay houses, and crenelated towers, all decorated with geometric motifs.
Later in the afternoon, you will make your way back to Marrakech while crossing the High Atlas Mountains. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel. Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity to experience the beauty of Ait Ben Haddou and the surrounding areas on a Marrakech day tour.
