Day trip to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah

1 Day trip from Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah

Excursion itinerary:

Day trip to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah departure:

One of the iconic sites of Morocco; no trip to the south of the country is complete without a visit to Ait Ben-Haddou. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the country’s most famous attractions thanks to its use as a filming location in many celebrated movies (including Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia). We depart Marrakech early, collecting you from your accommodation for a full day of exploration. Heading south from Marrakech we cross the High Atlas mountains at the Tizi-n-Tichka pass (2260m above sea level). We arrive at the famous ksar (fortified village) in good time to explore its striking architecture and to soak up the panoramic vistas that made the area so attractive to Hollywood film producers. Visitors may also want to visit the nearby city of Ouarzazate, nicknamed ‘the door of the desert’ and the location of some of the world’s largest film studios. After a day full of photo opportunities and exploration, we return via the High Atlas mountains to Marrakech. This excursion can be adapted to include a visit to the Telouet Kasbah (sometimes known as the Palace of Glaoui), another famous kasbah in the Atlas Mountains.

Excursion to Telouet Kasbah

1 Day trip from Marrakech to Telouet Kasbah

Excursion itinerary:

Those interested in Moorish architecture or the history of Morocco should head towards the dramatic scenery of the Atlas Mountains where they will find Telouet Kasbah. Sometimes known as the Palace of Glaoui, it is a historic kasbah built along the old Sahara caravan route in the Atlas mountains and one of the most splendid examples of Moorish architecture remaining in Morocco today. We depart early from Marrakech, traversing the High Atlas Mountains at Tizi n’Tichka Pass which, at 2260m above sea level, offers ample photo opportunities and spectacular views. About 5km along the road descending from the pass towards Ouarzazate, a narrow road leads off to Telouet Kasbah in a steep, scenic valley. The kasbah of Telouet was the principal residence of Thami El Glaoui (known as The Lord of the Atlas) and the opulent decor demonstrates the wealth and power accumulated by its occupants. Some of the finest surviving examples of craftsmanship anywhere in Morocco are contained in two reception rooms at Telouet; adorned with traditional tile work, engraved stucco work, and painted cedar ceilings the rooms feature windows strategically placed to give unrivaled views across the valleys of the Atlas mountains. We spend the day exploring the kasbah (with a knowledgeable local guide) and the surrounding areas before returning via the Atlas mountains to your accommodation in Marrakech. This excursion can be adapted to include a visit to the Ait Ben-Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
