Road of one thousand kasbahs

Morning departure from Marrakech to the Dades gorges and driving across the High-Atlas mountains. At panoramic viewpoints, there will be opportunities to stop and take photos. After the Tizi-n-Tichka pass (2260m), you leave the main road and take a side road to the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, which you can visit after lunch (a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is also well-known as being the backdrop to many Hollywood blockbusters). The road past Ouarzazate and to the oasis of Skoura where we stop to visit the kasbah of Amridil. From here, the route goes through Kela’a M’gouna, the valley of the roses and the road of one thousand Kasbahs. You stop in the Dades gorges in a hotel there for dinner and night.

Morning departure from the Dades gorges to Marrakech via the Boumalne dades valley. Once in Ouarzazate, we visit the kasbah of Taourirt, originally the residence of the Pasha of Marrakech and a symbol of the feudal period of the lords of Atlas. Afterwards, an unpaved track to the oasis of Fint nestling among the mountains, which once served as the crossroads of caravans, provides a hidden delight. After lunch, the return to Marrakech will complete the trip at the end of the afternoon.
