Day 1: Marrakech – High Atlas – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Skoura – Merzouga
• Your adventure begins early in Marrakech, heading south across the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass, Morocco’s highest road pass offering panoramic views and dramatic scenery.
• Stop at the legendary Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and iconic film location, where earthen architecture tells stories of ancient caravan routes. Enjoy lunch nearby before continuing to Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa”, with time to visit Kasbah Taourirt or the famous Atlas Film Studios.
