Departure from Marrakech & Drive into the High Atlas After breakfast, we leave Marrakech and start our journey toward the High Atlas Mountains. Very quickly, the scenery changes from city life to mountain landscapes, traditional villages, and winding roads.

Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 m) – Scenic Viewpoints We cross the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the highest paved road in Morocco. Along the way, we stop at several panoramic viewpoints so you can take photos of the valleys, terraced fields, and Berber villages clinging to the hillsides.

Visit of Aït Ben Haddou (UNESCO Ksar) In the early afternoon, we arrive at the iconic Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Together we walk through its narrow alleys, climb up to the granary viewpoint, and discover the ancient earthen architecture that has been used in many films and series (Gladiator, Game of Thrones, etc.).

Drive through Ouarzazate, Skoura & Dades Valley After the visit, we continue via Ouarzazate, then along the road of kasbahs and palm groves through Skoura and the Dades Valley. You’ll see fortified villages, green oases and impressive rock formations as we approach the eastern side of the Atlas.

Arrival in Tinghir & Night at a wonderful guesthouse By late afternoon / early evening, we reach the Tinghir area and check in at a cozy guesthouse nestled in the valley. You’ll enjoy a half-board stay (dinner & breakfast) with creative cuisine made from local products, and a peaceful night surrounded by the mountains.
