Tour Description
This journey starting from Marrakech will allow us to witness the attractions of Ait Ben-Haddou Kasbah, Atlas Studios, and various other sites. As we traverse the winding path of Tizi n’Tichka, we will encounter captivating panoramas from the pinnacles of the High Atlas Mountains, alongside Berber villages nestled on the precipice of the valley.
Beyond Tizi N-tichka, we will venture through petite farmlands and encounter shepherds tending to their flocks of sheep and goats. Continuing our expedition, we will proceed to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddo, constructed from russet-hued clay. This fortified structure served as a sanctuary for its inhabitants, safeguarding them from extreme temperatures. Additionally, the Kasbah functioned as a stronghold against hostile invasions.
Having made a brief stop at the Kasbah, our path will lead us to explore other intriguing locations in Ouarzazate, recognized as the Moroccan equivalent of Hollywood. As we enter the city, we will be greeted by majestic statues of Pharaohs adorning the Atlas Studios, where illustrious movies like “Kingdom of Heaven,” “Lawrence of Arabia,” and “Babel” were filmed. Subsequently, we will venture forth to visit other awe-inspiring historical monuments, namely
