What to expect

This day trip takes you from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou right across the chain of the High Atlas Mountains and over the famous 'Tizi N'Tichka' that is 2,260 meters high above sea level. All along the road, you can see the Berber villages perched on the side of the mountains, sometimes hardly distinguishable from the mountains themselves. As you reach the far side of the mountains the landscape changes dramatically, becoming semi-arid and desert-like. Here is the Kasbah architecture with turrets on all the buildings, adorned with grilled windows and soft peach colored walls. These traditional houses are made of adobe, highly suitable for the climatic conditions of the south.Following your journey through the beautiful valleys, you will arrive at the ancient Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, which is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. World-renowned as the Moroccan Hollywood because of the famous films which have been shot there, including the Lawrence of Arabia, The Jewel Of The Nile, Kingdom of Heaven, The Mommy, Alexander the Great, Babel, Gladiator, and Game of Thrones. Discovering this amazing fortified village built from adobe, stones, you will enjoy a scenic walk with your professional guide as you enjoy the view of the landscapes as far as the eye can see and admire an incredible contrast between colors.

Uns hat gefallen, dass der Ausflug stattgefunden hat (mit allen anderen Angeboten gab es große Probleme), wir hatten einen netten, zuverlässigen Fahrer und einen guten Führer in der Kasbah. Wir haben viel Neues erfahren und gesehen. Das Erlebnis in dem 1000 Jahre alten Dorf war beeindruckend.

Very prompt and friendly driver. Made stops along the way to break up the journey. Did not realise how far away it was from marrakech. Which is our own fault for not looking into it further. But we're still glad we went.

Fantastic day. Kasbah was incredible and both Abdel and Aziz were great guides. Could have skipped the film studios as bit naff and spent more time at kasbah. Would say make sure you have at least 800dh in cash as no one takes cards. Entrance to studios, guide at kasbah and lunch all need cash so don’t get caught out. Luckily we checked before we left. It was a fantastic memorable trip with stunning scenery. Well worth doing.

ok so we where picked up from our hotel by a driver who was great to get along with and a real blessing.after paying to get in to the film set,that we went to first,and then carrying on to the ancient kasbah,where we had a guide who we paid for,we had ran out of money for food later on.Entirely my fault as i dont like carrying much money around with me. He obliged by paying for our lunch! which we gratefully received(and paid him back on return to our hotel. A real star
