Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Marrakech. Travel across the stunning High Atlas Mountains via the famous Tizi n'Tichka Pass, enjoying breathtaking views of valleys, mountain peaks, and traditional Berber villages.

Your first stop is the historic Kasbah of Telouet, once the grand residence of the influential Glaoui family, who ruled much of southern Morocco during the early 20th century. Explore this fascinating fortress and learn about its rich history.

Continue along the ancient caravan route to the magnificent Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco’s most famous kasbah and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through its narrow alleyways, admire the impressive earthen architecture, and discover why this extraordinary village has appeared in famous productions such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Game of Thrones, and many others.

After free time for exploration and lunch, begin your return journey to Marrakech, crossing once again the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains before arriving in the evening.
