Day 4: Rose valley- Skoura – Ouarzazate – Ait Ben Haddou – Marrakech

After breakfast, we’ll head to El Kalaa Mgouna – the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. We’ll pass the Skoura palm oasis and arrive at Amridil, the largest kasbah in the south (featured on Morocco’s 50-Dirham banknote). Amridil is still inhabited, so it’s a chance to see traditional ways of life in these ancient settlements. The Kasbah is an imposing structure, and the views from the top are incredible, you will spend some time exploring Amridil.

After that, we will set off towards Ouarzazate passing the international filming center en route to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït ben Haddou Kasbah, a hillside assembly of several multi-storied adobe granaries.

In actuality, this setting has been used for more films than any other location in Morocco; films including, Jewel of the Nile, Lawrence of Arabia, Game of Thrones, Jesus of Nazareth, and recently The Gladiator.

You will have lunch then drive to another impressive Kasbah in the village of Telouate nestled outside the Onilla Valley. Kasbah Telouate was occupied by the Pacha Thami Glaoui during his reign and is frequented by Moroccan and tourists.The village of Telouate is located in the middle of the Atlas Mountains, about four hours south of Marrakech. It is a small village with a population of just over 1,000 people. The villagers are very friendly and welcoming, and they are always happy to help visitors with anything they need.

Hence the Harem and reception hall areas give one a good idea of the former luxury in which the El Glaoui family lived, as well as a look at the Andalusian style of decorating. However, the older parts of the Kasbah are in complete ruins, making it difficult to see properly. Walking through the crumbling passageways is like walking through a maze letting the imagination go wild. There is not much to do in Telouate, but there are some beautiful hiking trails nearby that offer stunning views of the mountains and the valley below. There are also several small shops in the village where you can buy souvenirs and local handicrafts.

In the afternoon, we head north across the High Atlas on the spectacular road of the Tizi-n’Tichka pass, with vistas on deep dales and their adobe hamlets . Finally, we ended the day in Marrakech.

Drop you off at your accommodation.
