Leaving Marrakech behind, your journey begins with beautiful scenery and small villages on the road that winds up to the spectacular Tizi n'Tichka Pass. Once over, you'll see the lunar landscape of the Atlas Mountains and the plains beyond. Drive along the ancient caravan route used to transport goods to the Sultan of Marrakech in Telouet.
Visit the imposing Kasbah of Telouet — the former residence of the sultan with its opulent interior. Continue through the scenic Ounila Valley canyon to Tamdaght for a delicious lunch at a terrace overlooking the valley. In the afternoon, visit the UNESCO-listed Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou with its adobe houses, mysterious passageways, and intricate light patterns. Climb through narrow stone alleyways to the summit for breathtaking views. Time permitting, visit the Ouarzazate film studios — 'the Hollywood of Morocco' — where films like Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones were shot. Return across the High Atlas to Marrakech in the evening.
