Itinerary
The road of the Kasbahs A very nice trip that gathers history and nature at the same time, you’ll have to visit the Glaoui Kasbah and Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, you will also be crossing some high mountains, the most spectacular pass in the country. At 07:am the tour starts we cross the Tichka Pass which is the highest one in the kingdom 2260 m of elevation, afterwards we leave the main road towards Telouet, a berber village situated 20 km between the mountains, and of course the road there will be stretcher but the site is worth to be visited by people looking for some cultural information; once you get there you can see some confusing sceneries since the Kasbah seems to be in ruins from outside and very luxurious from inside ,it was built during the 19th century by the wealthy and powerful Glaoui family, that was very close to the royal family at the time, it’s really reflecting the skills of the Moroccan craftsmen, and how strong that family was After this magnificent monument we start again crossing the Ounila valley; a wonderful area leading us to the second Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, which was built within the 11th century by the Almoravide Commander Ali Ben Haddou ,it’s a fortified Village considered nowadays, as a world heritage and protected by the UNESCO and that serves as a location for many international movies, when we finish our tour inside, we carry on to Ouarzazate to see the Biggest movies studios in Morocco, in case you want to see where Gladiator, Cleopatra, the jewel of the Nile,.... have been made. When all the visits are done we can start back to Marrakech.

Simo (film star looks) was great, and the sights were incredible - well worth the longish journey. Would genuinely recommend the tour, and Simo… who also took us to the airport in his immaculate car. With hindsight, given that lunch isn’t included (which was in the itinerary, so no surprise) we may have chosen lunch with a view, but we will try that next time! Seriously, you should do this tour!!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the sights and Simo’s service, including the airport transfer. We also appreciate your note about lunch not included as mentioned in the itinerary and we’re glad it didn’t affect your experience. We look forward to welcoming you again for another memorable Adventure Masters tour!
We had Mohammed as our driver for 11 days with our tour guide Lahcen. Mohammed was an excellent driver and kept us safe on the rad at all times. He was very helpful, polite, warm and friendly and spat the end we felt like friends. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mohammed, my tour group of 6 people loved him. We had a minibus which gave us plenty of room for the 6 of us to spread out and it was a bonus having Wi-Fi. Mohammed kept the bus clean everyday and there was plenty supply of water which we all appreciated. Thank you Adventure Masters.
