Your itinerary

Embark on an extraordinary day trip to Telouet and Aït Benhaddou, commencing from your Hotel/Riad at 8:00 AM. Journey through the majestic High Atlas Mountains, traversing the renowned Tizi-n-Tichka pass, the highest in all of Africa. Witness the picturesque Berber villages nestled on the mountainsides, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape. Descend into lush valleys adorned with oleander and fruit trees, tracing alongside meandering rivers.

Upon crossing the mountains, the scenery transforms into a semi-arid, desert-like terrain. Behold the striking Kasbah architecture, characterized by turrets, grilled windows, and soft peach-colored walls. These traditional adobe houses offer respite in the southern climate.

After traversing the Tichka pass, veer off the main road to explore the Telouet Kasbah, once owned by the influential Glaoui family, now in ruins. Following this, indulge in a delectable lunch at Aït Ben Haddou along the newly paved road.

The afternoon is dedicated to discovering the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït Benhaddou, renowned for its role as a backdrop in numerous Hollywood blockbusters. This historic fortress served as a vital stronghold on the ancient Salt Road caravan routes, facilitating trade in slaves, gold, ivory, and salt from sub-Saharan Africa to Marrakech.
