Itinerary
Aït Benhaddou is an ighrem (fortified village in English) along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. Most citizens attracted by the tourist trade live in more modern dwellings in a village on the other side of the river, although there are four families still living in the ancient village. Inside the walls of the ksar are half a dozen kasbahs, or merchants' houses. Ksar Aït Benhaddou is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
Telouet Kasbah; French: Casbah de Télouet) is a Kasbah along the former route of the caravans from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. The kasbah was the seat of the El Glaoui family's power, thus sometimes also called the Palace of Glaoui, and it was built in the 18th and 19th centuries. The palace can still be visited but it is steadily becoming more damaged and is slowly collapsing. In 2010, work was underway to restore the property.
Tizi n'Tichka, romanized: Tizi en Ticka; Arabic: تيزي ن تيشكا) is a mountain pass in Morocco, linking the south-east of Marrakesh to the city of Ouarzazat through the High Atlas mountains. It lies above the great Marrakesh plains, and is a gateway to the Sahara Desert.

We have just come back from this wonderful trip. Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou is a must see. It is so spectacular. It was also fun visiting the Atlas Studios. Our guide was fabulous. Jamili couldn’t gave been friendlier or more helpful. He was always there ready when we needed him. He supplied water as well which was much appreciated. It is a long day but so worth it and just brilliant to have your own driver. It’s a big comfortable car too. I highly recommend this trip as the scenery on the way is so beautiful as well.
Friendly private driver who even took our music choice into account. Was immediately ready if we asked him via whatsapp to pick us up.
