Itinerary
Aït-ben-Haddou is a ksar (Ighrem, in Berber) of Morocco inscribed on the list of the world heritage of UNESCO, in the province of Ouarzazate. It is part of the municipality of Aït Zineb. This is a striking example of traditional southern Moroccan architecture, on the side of a hill at the top of which was a collective attic (an agadir)
The Kasbah Telouet, sometimes also called Glaoui Palace, is a kasbah built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Located in the small Berber village of Telouet, in the rural town of Telouet, in the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco, its most famous occupant is probably Thami El Glaou. The current kasbah was built in 1860 by the Glaoua, next to an old kasbah whose remains are still visible today. It was subsequently greatly enlarged during the first half of the twentieth century by Thami El Glaoui. Legend has it that 300 workers worked for three years decorating ceilings and walls. These are made either of finely chiselled stucco, sometimes of zelliges for the walls, and cedar painted for the ceiling1. The roofs are made of ceramic tiles painted green. The result is a set of huge buildings, whose interior decoration shows an important wealth.

We had a wonderful trip with Tilila tours from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou. The communication with Mohamed was extremely easy and friendly. We were picked up directly at our hotel by our guide and driver Tawfiq, who was the highlight of our trip. Tawfiq drove us safely across the Atlas Mountains and shared so much about Moroccan life and culture along the way. His playlist of international, was well as Moroccan and North African music was incredible and made the beautiful drive even more special. Tawfiq stopped at some beautiful spots along the way and was happy to put in some extra stops, including for delicious Italian coffee on the side of the road at our request. I definitely recommend this one day trip from Marrakech to explore more of what beautiful Morocco has to offer. Thanks again Tawfiq for making this trip very special.

Excellent day trip organised by Abdelfatah and then expertly driven and guided by Yassin. For us the trip to the Atlas Mountains was the highlight of our stay in Morocco. We would highly recommend to anyone considering to book.

Excellent communication from Mohamed (Tilila Travel), we were kept updated throughout. We were picked up in a mini bus even though there were only the two of us, great information provided by our driver Ahmed, always pointing out interesting things along the way, once we arrived, Ahmed arranged a guide for us, who was so knowledgeable, it was an incredibly hot day, but an experience we both enjoyed.

It was a very nice and pleasant excursion, the very friendly guide and the kasbahs we saw are spectacular. The villages we saw in the Atlas are beautiful and we took many photos.
Estimado beatriza Gracias por brindarnos su experiencia perfecta sin tener noticias suyas. Nos complace saber que tuvo una gran experiencia con Tilila Travel porque este es exactamente nuestro servicio. eres bienvenido a Marruecos en cualquier momento.
We stayed three families with young people aged 15 to 20, had a fantastic day, Mohamed our guide and already friend was watching us all day, made our children have a really great time and felt at home. The two visits were wonderful, and the local guide who accompanied us to Ait Ben Hadou showed us the least touristy part of the kasbah and told us how it is the day to day there, since he lived during his childhood in that World Heritage city. Our thanks to Mohamed for this fantastic day, for his dedication, dedication and professionalism, to travel with him is to feel safe and confident. We'll go back to the desert with him, for sure.
