Highlights : 2 days Marrakech to Ouarzazate

✔ Day 1: Marrakech ➔ Aït Ben Haddou ➔ Ouarzazate

Your driver picks you up at 8:30 AM. You’ll begin your climb into the High Atlas. Watch the colors change as the road winds through Berber villages and farmland.

After crossing the Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, the tallest in North Africa, you leave the highway and enter the quiet Ounila Valley. Your first stop: Kasbah Telouet. Though damaged in the 2023 earthquake, the outside still tells stories of power and betrayal.

Next, visit Aït Ben Haddou. This is Morocco’s most famous kasbah, and for good reason. Traders once crossed the Sahara to reach it. Today, it’s still alive with history. Explore the narrow paths or take a short camel ride if you like.

After lunch, continue to Ouarzazate for dinner and overnight. You can stay in a riad or in a nearby Berber village for something more local.

✔ Day 2: Ouarzazate ➔ Fint Oasis ➔ Marrakech

After breakfast, explore Kasbah Taourirt a maze of rooms and courtyards with sweeping views.

Then it’s off to the Fint Oasis. Tucked away in the hills, it’s a green paradise where life hasn’t changed much in centuries. Walk along the river, sip mint tea, and watch frogs leap between reeds.

Next, visit the fourth kasbah, Tifoultoute. It’s half-ruins, half-guesthouse. Nearby, Atlas Studios is open for a peek at film sets from Lawrence of Arabia to The Mummy.

You’ll head back to Marrakech in the afternoon, passing through the Amethyst Valley. Arrive by evening, full of stories from the desert.
