Plan dzień po dniu
Your pickup time will be 8 AM this morning as we journey out of Marrakech to Boumalne Dades.
We will drive east of Marrakech past small suburban towns to the High Atlas Mountains. A few
stops will be made to take photos, enjoy the panoramic views, stretch your legs and enjoy some
refreshments. These stops are typically around 15 minutes but we can shorten or length this time
depending on your need or interest in the location.
Our first stop will be at Aït Barka (1h drive from Marrakech), which is situated at the beginning of
the Atlas Mountains at an altitude of 1500m. Will then drive uphill on curvy roads to the famous
Tizi N'tichka pass (1.5h drive from Aït Barka). We will stop at the top which is an elevation of
2600m to take in the scenery, take pictures and enjoy refreshments before driving to Kasbah
Telouet (1 hour drive from Tizi N'tichka). You will tour Kasbah Telouet (30 min) with a local guide
who will explain the Kasbah’s significance and history as it is situated along the former route of
the caravans and was occupied by the El Glaoui family.
We will then make our way to the UNESCO listed landmark Aït Ben Haddou (1.5h drive from
Kasbah Telouet) where you will tour this Berber fortified village with a local guide (1h). Aït Ben
Haddou is known as a set for major Hollywood epics such as Kingdom of Heaven, Lawrence of
Arabia, and Gladiator.
We will then break for lunch. Your driver will offer restaurant recommendations however you may
choose where you’d like to go.
After lunch, we will continue on 1000 Kasbahs road to Skoura Oasis and Klaa Mgouna (1.5h
drive from Ouarzazate). Klaa Mgouna is the capital of the valley of the roses and is famous for its
rose water artisanal distillation factories. If interested, a tour of the distillation factory can be
arranged.
Our last leg of the journey will take us to Boumalne Dades (40 min drive from Kelaa Mgouna)
where we will follow the Dades River on a tiny road passing by different fortified kasbahs located
on the side of the road to Dades Canyons. We will make a stop to see a unique landscape of
eroded sandstone formations called the Monkey Fingers before arriving at your hotel late in the
afternoon.
