Ait Ben Haddou & Ouarzazate :

Enjoy spectacular scenery from the High Atlas Mountains on our full day excursion of Ait Ben Haddou & Ouarzazte.
Our tour starts with a drive through the fertile countryside of the Haouz Plain and and continues with a drive up and across the High Atlas Mountains over Tizi N' Tichka Pass (2260 m high) where we'll enjoy spectacular scenic views of Mountains and semi-desert terrain topped by kasbahs and adobe homes.On the other side of the Mountain pass, a striking contrast of red clay villages and greenery leads us to Ait Ben Haddou - a wonderful 11th century Kasbah, declared by UNESCO to be an historical treasure. Thirty minutes beyond Ait Ben Haddou, we arrive at the beautiful city of Ouarzazate, a town with typical kasbah-style architecture. Ouarzazate has also become similar to a little Hollywood, with so many films being regulalrly made here, including Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra and the slavery scenes from Gladiator. Whilst here we'll visit the 17th century Taourirt Kasbah, the former residence of the Pacha Glaoui.
Please note that Taourirt Kasbah can be closed without notice due to filming. In this case, we will substitute a visit to Kasbah Tifoultoute, another Kasbah owned by Pacha Glaoui located on the outskirts of Ouarzazate.
