Ait Benhddou kasbah Day Trip

Ait Benhddou kasbah Day Trip

Start from Marrakech to Ouarzazate at 8:00 am, Our first visit of the day takes place in Telouet, a village located on the “Caravan Route” from the Sahara to the Atlas to Marrakech. Telouet is home to one of the most spectacular kasbahs in the Atlas, which was once the palace residence and seat of the powerful Glaoui tribe.
Taking a small road, we arrive at Ait Benhaddou. Listed by UNESCO in 1987 as a “World Heritage Site”, Ksar Ait Benhaddou is an example of the architecture of southern Morocco. Ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses pile up between the defense walls reinforced by corner towers. After a guided tour of the ancient village, do not miss to climb to the top of the hill overlooking the Ksar for a particularly pleasant view.
In the late afternoon, you will make the return to your hotel in Marrakech at 19:00.
