YOUR ITINERARY
Day 1: Marrakech – Aït Benhaddou – Ouarzazate – Rose Valley – Dadés Gorges
Our journey commences from Marrakech before 8:00 am, aiming to reach Ouarzazate, famously dubbed as the “Gateway to the Sahara.” This former caravan town, nestled in the eastern foothills of the Atlas Mountains along the silk and salt route, offers a rich historical tapestry. En route, we traverse the Berber town of Taddert, ascending over the Tizi n’Tichka pass towering at 2260 meters.
Upon traversing the Tizi n’Tichka mountain pass, we pause at the renowned Aït Benhaddou Kasbah, situated 30 kilometers from Ouarzazate. This Kasbah, boasting captivating red earth castles lining the ancient road of the Thousand Kasbahs, is a UNESCO world heritage site since 1987. Here, we relish our lunch amidst the Kasbah’s splendor before embarking on our journey towards Dadés Gorge via Ouarzazate, aptly titled “The Hollywood of Africa.”
As we navigate through the “road to the Thousand Kasbahs” and marvel at the enchanting “sand castles,” a stop at Kalaat M’gouna beckons.
