1 Day trip Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou Itinerary
The High Atlas Mountains and the well-known Tizi N Tichka pass, which is 2,260 meters high and the highest in all of Africa, are your route from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou on our one-day excursion. You’ll pass by the mountainous Berber communities along the journey, which are sometimes hard to tell apart from the mountains itself.
The landscape abruptly changes, turning semi-arid and desert-like when you get to the other side of the mountains. Every residence in the towered Kasbah building is adorned with grilled windows and plainly colored walls.
These conventional homes are constructed of adobe, which is ideal for the temperature of the south.
You will arrive in the traditional Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, which might be a UNESCO World Heritage site, after touring the lovely valleys.
Because of the well-known movies that were filmed there, including “Game of Thrones (2013),” “The Jewel of the Nile (1985”), “Lawrence of Arabia (1962), “The Kingdom of Heaven,” “The Mom,” “Alexander the Great (2004),” “Babel (2006),” and “Gladiator (200),” Morocco is sometimes referred to as the “Moroccan Hollywood.”
With your knowledgeable guide by your side, you’ll enjoy a panoramic walk as you explore this amazing fortified town made of stones and adobe.
Observe various perspectives, take in breathtaking vistas as far as the eye can see, and take in the stunning color contrast. Eating while surrounded by this breathtaking scenery is equally enjoyable.
