itinerary

Our day excursion from Marrakech to Ouarzazate begins with a meeting with your guide at your hotel or another location in Marrakech of your choice. You begin driving over the High Atlas mountains, admiring the stunning vistas of valleys and Berber villages where you can stop whenever you want to photograph any of the scenic sceneries. Your driver guide will choose the most attractive sites for you to snap pictures of; one of them should be on Tizi N Tishka, the highest route in the country, where you can observe the gorgeous winding roads through the mountains. At noon, you will arrive at the historical village of Kasbah Ait Benhadou, where you will stop for a visit to one of the oldest and best-preserved mud villages in southern Morocco; it is also a Unesco World Heritage site and has served as a filming location for Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and other films. The next destination will be Ouarzazate, where you will see Atlas Studios, where many popular movies such as The Mommy, Prince Of Persia, and others were filmed. You can take a guided tour inside the studios if you want. If not, you can simply take photographs from the outside.

Afterwards, we start our journey back to Marrakech where our trip ends.
