1 DAY TRIP TO AIT BEN HADDOU KASBAH FROM MARRAKECH
DAY 1 : TRIP TO AIT BEN HADDOU KASBAH FROM MARRAKECH

Embark on a fascinating one-day excursion to Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah from Marrakech. The journey begins with a 7:30 am rendezvous at your hotel or Riad in Marrakech. From there, we’ll set off towards the Atlas Mountains, traversing the breathtaking Tijinutika Pass, a route offering spectacular vistas of the snow-clad peaks of the Atlas.

Our destination is Ait Benhaddou, a site of immense historical and cultural significance that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Morocco since 1987. Ait Benhaddou’s Kusor, or Amazigh village, once played a pivotal role as a crucial stop along the caravan route, facilitating the transportation of salt from the Sahara and returning with valuable commodities like gold and ivory. This well-preserved and meticulously restored Kasbah is a testament to its rich heritage.

Notably, Ait Benhaddou has also served as the backdrop for numerous renowned films, including “The Mummy,” “Alexander,” “Heaven,” and “Prince of Persia.” After exploring the Kasbah, we’ll enjoy a delectable lunch at a local restaurant.

Our journey continues past the desert of Ouarzazate, leading us to the remarkable sites of Taourirt Kasbah, the Atlas Film Studios, and the Cinema Museum. These locations have played a pivotal role in the world of cinema.

Around 4 pm, we’ll commence our return to Marrakech, traversing the Atlas Mountains once again. This captivating full-day adventure offers you a glimpse into the rich history, culture, and cinematic allure of this remarkable region.
