Aït Ben Haddou day trip from Marrakech
Day trip to Aït Ben Haddou from Marrakech across the High Atlas and the Tizi-n-Tichka. Discover the UNESCO-listed kasbah in one day.
About this day trip
The day trip to Aït Ben Haddou from Marrakech is a must to discover one of the most spectacular landscapes in southern Morocco, combining history, Berber culture and stunning views of the High Atlas.
Your driver picks you up at 8:00 am at the agreed place. We cross the majestic High Atlas range over the famous Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, the highest road pass in Morocco, with unique panoramas and small Berber villages blending into the landscape.
We then reach Aït Ben Haddou, the country’s most iconic ksar. Its mud-brick architecture, with crenellated towers and walls in reddish and salmon tones, is truly striking. These traditional buildings are perfectly adapted to the southern climate: mud brick naturally insulates against heat and cold, and local materials made construction easier.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this ancient fortified village was a key stop on the Salt Road, where caravans carried gold, ivory, salt and other goods between sub-Saharan Africa and Marrakech. Its beauty has also made it the setting for many international films.
During the visit you will stroll through its historic alleys and climb to the highest point for a spectacular panoramic view. Return to Marrakech in the afternoon.
