The 15 Best Ait Ben Haddou & Ouarzazate Day Trips

61 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.

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 9,447 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $21Our pick

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. Our small group were all lovely too which helped. at Ait Ben Haddou village, we had a fantastic local guide called Mohammed, his family have lived there for 7 generations so he knew…”

“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. Whether it was toilet or pictures, we got it all. We made several stops, and everything was always very relaxed. There were 5 of us in a large car, and although the route was very long, everything worked out perfectly. He didn't come with us to Aïd Benhaddou, but picked us up again right on time. Very nice. The Atlas Mountains and everything we saw was simply outstanding. The Berber family also cooked something vegetarian especially for…”

“I was so happy to have taken this tour through the Atlas Mountains and out to the various stops along the way to Ouarzazate. It was truly an unforgettable experience in Morocco. I recommend that you take a tour like this one but it's definitely a long day, so be prepared. Early pick up (which I almost missed because I confused the time and location because it wasn't very clear) The ride is long - along the way there are numerous stops so you get to enjoy getting out, walking around and taking in the scenic views. The way back was a bit rough because it's a 4hr drive back…”
