Details Itinerary : 1-Day Cultural Trip from Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah
Our 1-Day Cultural Trip from Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou Kasbah takes you via the famed “Tizi N Tichka pass,” which is the highest point in Africa at 2,260 meters, as well as the High Atlas Mountain range. You will pass through Berber communities along the journey, some of which are tucked away on the slope and can hardly be distinguished from the mountains itself.
The landscape changes dramatically when you get over the mountains and into a semi-arid and desert region. The Kasbah structure has towers in each dwelling, embellished with grilled windows and muted colored walls.
The adobe used to build these historic homes is ideal for the southern environment.
You will arrive in the historic Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, which is maybe a UNESCO World Heritage site, after touring the stunning valleys.
Due to the several high-profile movies that were filmed there, including “Game of Thrones (2013),” “The Jewel of the Nile (1985), “Lawrence of Arabia (1962), “The Kingdom of Heaven,” “The Mom,” “Alexander the Great (2004),” “Babel (2006),” and “Gladiator (200),” it is known across the world as the Moroccan Hollywood.
Along with your knowledgeable guide, you will have a panoramic stroll as you learn about this amazing stone-and-adobe walled town.
Take in the various vistas, breathtaking vistas stretching as far as the eye can see, and marvel at the striking contrast in the hues. Eating in this breathtaking setting will be enjoyable as well.
