About This Activity

Start your day with an early morning departure from Marrakech and journey through the stunning High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, one of the highest road passes in Morocco. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views and stop for scenic photos of Berber villages and mountain landscapes.

Your first major stop is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village famous for its unique earthen architecture. This iconic kasbah has been featured in many international films and series such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy. You'll have free time to explore its narrow alleys, climb to the top for panoramic views, and take beautiful photos.

After the visit, continue to Ouarzazate, often called the "Hollywood of Africa," where you'll have the option to visit the famous Atlas Film Studios (entrance fee not included) and see film sets used in major productions. You can also explore the Kasbah Taourirt, a historic palace with traditional architecture and rich heritage.

Enjoy a relaxing lunch break (not included) at a local restaurant before heading back to Marrakech through the same scenic route. The tour ends with drop-off at your accommodation in the evening, leaving you with unforgettable memories of southern Morocco’s cinematic and cultural treasures.
