Travel Itinerary
Your adventure begins early in the morning from Marrakech as you head into the High Atlas Mountains, winding through the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 m). Along the way, enjoy several photo stops at panoramic viewpoints and traditional Berber villages perched on the mountainsides.
Arrive at the famous Ksar Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where a free local guide will lead you through its historic alleys, kasbahs, and viewpoints—a must-see location featured in numerous films and series.
After lunch in or near Aït Ben Haddou, continue your journey through Ouarzazate (brief stop at Taourirt Kasbah or Atlas Studios if time permits), then pass through the Valley of Roses toward the dramatic landscapes of the Dades Valley. Before reaching your hotel in Boumalne Dades, stop to admire the unique Monkey Fingers rock formations, a surreal natural site shaped by erosion into finger-like cliffs.
End the day with a traditional Moroccan dinner and overnight stay at a hotel or guesthouse in the Dades Valley
