Traveling further south, we will visit the famous kasbah of Ait Ben-Haddou (a UNESCO World Heritage site) where we can take lunch and refreshments. We continue in the direction of Ouarzazate (the “Hollywood of Morocco”), through the palm oasis of Skoura and the Valley of Roses before finally arriving at the Dades Valley. Here we will take a walking tour of the magnificent Dades Gorge and stay overnight at a comfortable hotel.

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.
