Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate day trip
This day trip to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate will allow you to discover another facet of the beauty of Morocco because this area is considered the gateway to the desert of Morocco and at 1,001 kasbahs (Berber fortress).
During this excursion to Ait Ben Haddou, you will pass the Tizi N'Tichka pass, known for its sharp curves. You will make a quick stop on the terrace to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and take good photos of the Berber villages and the incredible landscapes, snowed in winter and spring and lush in summer and autumn from the top.
