Embark on a journey right across the chain of the high Atlas Mountains and over the famous Tizi N’Tichka passes at 1412 miles (2260 meters) high, the highest in the whole of Africa.

See the Berber villages perched on the side of the mountain, sometimes hardly distinguishable from the mountains themselves.

As you reach the far side of the mountains, the landscape changes dramatically, becoming semi-arid and desert-like. Here is the Kasbah architecture with turrets on all the buildings, adorned with grilled windows and soft peach coloured walls. These traditional houses are made of adobe, highly suitable for the climatic conditions of the south.

Arrive at the ancient Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Proceed to Ouarzazate, renowned as the Moroccan Hollywood because of the famous films which have been shot there, including the “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Sodom et Gomorra”, “le joyful du Nil”, “Jesus de Nazareth”, “Kingdom of heaven”, “The Mummy”, “Gladiator”, “7 days in Tibet”, “Alexander the Great”, “Babel”, and more.

Visit the Taourirt Kasbah, classified by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. You may also stop by a cinema studio if this would interest you.
