Ait-Ben-Haddou and Ouarzazate Private Guided Day Trip from Marrakech
Admire the incredible landscape of Morocco and visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the clay city of Aït-Ben-Haddou and Ouarzazate, the "Hollywood of Morocco." Ride over the imposing Atlas Mountains and visit a traditional argan oil collective.
Begin your full-day tour of the incredible Moroccan landscape with a drive from Marrakech through the Tizi-N-Tichka Pass. Visit a cooperative run by women in the Atlas Mountains, where the famous Argan oil is produced by hand and organic delicacies and beauty products are sold.
Just before Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert, enjoy the unique chance to visit the Aït-Ben-Haddou Kasbah. This ancient town is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but often a location used in Hollywood films and television series, such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Prince of Persia and Game of Thrones. Enjoy a 1-hour tour with a local guide and discover what makes this little town so unique.
After lunch in a local restaurant with a panoramic terrace in the newer part of Aït-Ben-Haddou, continue to Ouarzazate and enjoy the choice of visiting either the venerable Kasbah Taourirt and the Old City or the Film Museum on the other side of the street. Stop for a coffee or tea over the High Atlas and return to Marrakech.
