Itinéraire détaillé

  1. Day Trip: PROGRAM DETAILS

    Journey through breathtaking countryside via Tizi n�Tichka Pass (2,260m) our first sightseeing of the day is at Telouet, a village on the �Route of the Caravans� from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. Telouet has one of the most spectacular Kasbahs in the Atlas, which was once the palatial residence and headquarters of the powerful Glaoui tribe.

    Taking a little used back road we arrive at Ait Benhaddou. Inscribed by UNESCO in 1987 as a �World Heritage Site�, the Ksar of Ait Benhaddou is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco. The Ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. After a guided tour of the ancient settlement be sure to walk up to the high point on the hill above the Ksar for particularly fine views.

    Your final stop is in Ouarzazate to visit Taourirt Kasbah, a former Glaoui palace and the main attraction of the desert oasis city. This 300-room fortress, in part restored, marks the junction of 3 rivers � Dad�s, Dra� and Ziz � as well as numerous caravan routes. And while Glaoui chiefs � known as ca�d � never resided in this opulent palace, the Glaoui kasbah of Taourirt once housed hundreds of people. You�ll have time to tour the palace and stroll the kasbah�s irregular streets.

    En fin d’après-midi, route du retour vers Marrakech.
