The 9 Best Ait Ben Haddou & Ouarzazate Day Trips

9 reviewed

The road over the Tizi n’Tichka tops two thousand metres before it drops to the kasbah everyone has seen in a film. These are the best trips down it: how long you get at Ait Ben Haddou, whether the film studios are included, and which push on to the Dades rather than turning back.

Marrakech day trip to Ouarzazate and Aït Benhaddou over Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, Atlas Film Studios stops, UNESCO kasbah visit.

“Ait Benhaddou was amazing, the village is very well preserved, we saw the magic berber ink and the views were great. Lunch was overpriced and not very good but the studios after we're totally worth the 8€. We saw a lot of sets from famous movies and took a lot of great pictures. Ramania, our guide and driver was funny and helpful and gave us a lot of information during the long trip about the history of the places we passed.”

“Our driver Samir was great, friendly, on time, stopped enough for us to take scenic photos etc. Cold at the mountain pass so wear warm clothing! The Atlas Film Sudio was cool, we found out by chance we could pay 40dhm extra and get a cool truck ride over to the huge Gladiator set in the desert which was awesome. Noone else there, didn't seem to be commonly advertised. Lunch was nice with decent choice of options.

“From the beginning Reda was a great guide. He was very pleasant, and punctual, always available. He is a good driver, and eager to drive us safely, and make everything we wanted possible.
