The UNESCO kasbah and film location, over the High Atlas — a long but spectacular day.
A long but unforgettable day takes you over the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka pass to Aït Ben Haddou, the UNESCO-listed earthen city that has starred in Gladiator, Game of Thrones and countless other films. You'll cross the river and climb through its kasbahs with a local guide, then visit nearby Ouarzazate, 'the door of the desert' and home to Morocco's film studios.
It's the best way to sample the spectacular southern landscapes if you can't spare the time for a full desert tour.
Private local Berber & Arab guides who know every kasbah, dune and shortcut.
