One hour after departing from Marrakech, we will embark on our journey through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Our route will lead us through the twisting paths of the Tizi n'Tichka pass, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of this magnificent mountain range. As this is your Tailored Morocco Tour, we are flexible to stop at any point along the route for photo opportunities, to bask in the natural beauty, or even to unwind at a local café and savor a cup of refreshing mint tea amidst the awe-inspiring scenery.

Explore the historic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, renowned as the oldest kasbah, or ancient fortified city, in Morocco, tracing its origins back to the 11th century. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, this remarkable locale has served as the backdrop for numerous iconic movies and shows, including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy, among others. Accompanied by your knowledgeable TMT guide, embark on a picturesque stroll within the ancient clay walls, immersing yourself in the rich tapestry of Berber heritage and culture. Through vivid descriptions of traditional Moroccan history and customs, your guide will transport you back in time to experience the everyday life of ancient Berber civilization. Don't forget to capture memorable snapshots of this iconic site, ensuring lasting memories of your visit.

Ouarzazate, often referred to as the "Hollywood of Morocco," lives up to its nickname with good reason. This city is home to Morocco's foremost filmmaking hub and boasts the distinction of housing the largest film studio globally, Atlas Studios. Embark on a captivating guided tour within the expansive grounds of Atlas Studios, where you'll encounter full-scale replicas of Egyptian temples, medieval castles, and ancient towns. Delve into the intricacies of the production process as you gain insights into Morocco's unique allure as a favored filming destination. Before heading out of Ourzazate, we will stop at a panoramic viewpoint of Tourirt Kasbah - a historic fortified complex dating back to the 19th century and a backdrop in its own right to movies such as Sheltering Sky, Gladiator, and Prince of Persia. You might want to brush up on your film knowledge before your tour starts!

On the road from Ouarzazat to Boumalene Dades you will find yourself driving along what is commonly known as the Road of One Thousand Kasbahs. After driving about 50 minutes from Ouarzazate, we will make a stop in Skoura. Here in this quiet little village speckled with palm tree groves, you will find one kasbah that stands out from the rest. The Kasbah Amridil, originally built in the 17th century, is one of Morocco’s most iconic living museums. It has withstood the test of time, making it the ideal setting for insight into the ancient traditions of kasbah life. With a local guide, visit this beautiful kasbah that was once featured on the 50 dirham note, although the newer ones no longer display it. It has also been featured in several films, including Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Lawrence of Arabia.

The Valley of Roses in Morocco is often overlooked on the popular Ouarzazate to Dades route. Not only is the scenery stunning, but the local roadside products (ranging from rose oil to rose water) are the lifeblood of this small Moroccan community nestled in the beautiful southern foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Winding rivers cut trails of green through the sculpted rock formation of steep ravines. Backed by the golden hue of barren landscapes, these oases give Morocco its unmistakable exotic feel. Tailored Morocco Tours offers the possibility of stopping in this beautiful valley for a coffee break or shopping for local products made with roses.
