• Marrakech - Meet the driver at the accommodation or the designated meeting point if the accommodation is not accessible by car, and embark on an adventure through the Atlas Mountains to explore Berber culture and capture stunning photos for memorable souvenirs.
• Atlas Mountains View - Cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, Morocco’s highest mountain road at 2,260 meters (7,410 ft), situated in the High Atlas Mountains. This scenic route provides breathtaking panoramic views of rugged peaks, deep valleys, and traditional Berber villages.

Along the journey, witness terraced fields, winding roads carved into the mountainsides, and dramatic landscapes that transform with the seasons — from snow-capped peaks in winter to golden valleys in summer. It’s an ideal spot for photos and short breaks to fully appreciate the natural beauty of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.

The Tizi n’Tichka Pass is more than just a route; it’s a vital part of the journey from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, adding adventure, culture, and unforgettable scenery to the day trip.

• Ouarzazate - Upon reaching Ouarzazate, visit the Taourirt Kasbah, one of southern Morocco’s most impressive and well-preserved kasbahs. Once the residence of the influential Glaoui family, it offers insight into traditional Moroccan architecture through its maze of rooms, courtyards, and towers made of clay and straw. From its terraces, enjoy stunning views over Ouarzazate and the surrounding desert landscapes.

Next, explore the Atlas Film Studio, located just outside Ouarzazate. It is the largest film studio in Africa and one of the biggest globally. Many renowned movies and series, such as Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy, were filmed here. Visitors can explore film sets, see ancient temples, palaces, and desert villages built for cinema, and discover how Hollywood magic comes alive in Morocco.

• Ait Ben Haddou - Step into the iconic Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, one of Morocco’s most famous and visually stunning fortified villages. This UNESCO World Heritage site, perched on a hill overlooking the Ounila Valley, dates back to the 11th century and was once a key stop for caravan traders crossing the High Atlas Mountains.

Wander through its maze of narrow streets, earthen houses, and ancient courtyards, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. The kasbah’s unique architecture and dramatic scenery have made it the backdrop for many famous films and TV series, including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy.

With a local guide, uncover the rich history, Berber culture, and fascinating stories behind this timeless Moroccan landmark — a truly unforgettable experience.
