Along the way, you’ll see traditional Berber villages clinging to the hillsides, dramatic valleys, terraced fields, and ever-changing mountain landscapes. It is one of the most scenic routes in the country and the perfect introduction to southern Morocco.

Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah
Explore the iconic Aït Ben Haddou, Morocco’s most famous ksar and a UNESCO-listed village made entirely of mud-brick. Travelers can walk through its narrow alleys, discover ancient granaries, and climb to the top for panoramic views. This site has served as a backdrop for films and series such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy. Your visit offers cultural insight into Berber architecture and the region’s rich history.

Taourirt Kasbah
Make a short stop in Ouarzazate, known as “The Hollywood of Africa.” Here you’ll admire the exterior of the historic Taourirt Kasbah, once an important residence of the Glaoui family. The kasbah’s impressive façade and sandy-colored towers make it a great place for photos before continuing your desert journey.

Draa Valley
Drive through the picturesque Draa Valley, one of Morocco’s longest and most fertile valleys. The route is lined with thousands of palm trees, fortified villages, and ancient kasbahs. This scenic stretch is ideal for observing the contrast between lush oasis landscapes and the surrounding desert mountains.
