Aït Benhaddou and Ouarzazate Highlights

• Take a day excursion from Marrakech to visit Taourirt and Aït Benhaddou Kasbahs. Located 160 km from Marrakech, Aït Benhaddou is an exceptional old village where many movies were shot and which is on the UNESCO Heritage List. Forsaken by its people, much of this village is now in ruins. However, with its narrow alleys and history-loaded ksars, the place seems to have lost nothing of its beauty and magic.

• Continue towards Ouarzazate, where you can visit the famous film studios, Atlas Studios, as well as the great Taourirt Kasbah and the Craft Centre.
