What to expect

This day trip takes you from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou right across the chain of the High Atlas Mountains and over the famous 'Tizi N'Tichka' that is 2,260 meters high above sea level. All along the road, you can see the Berber villages perched on the side of the mountains, sometimes hardly distinguishable from the mountains themselves. As you reach the far side of the mountains the landscape changes dramatically, becoming semi-arid and desert-like. Here is the Kasbah architecture with turrets on all the buildings, adorned with grilled windows and soft peach colored walls. These traditional houses are made of adobe, highly suitable for the climatic conditions of the south.

Following your journey through the beautiful valleys, you will arrive at the ancient Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, which is a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site. World-renowned as the Moroccan Hollywood because of the famous films which have been shot there, including the Lawrence of Arabia, The Jewel Of The Nile, Kingdom of Heaven, The Mommy, Alexander the Great, Babel, Gladiator, and Game of Thrones. Discovering this amazing fortified village built from adobe, stones, you will enjoy a scenic walk with your professional guide as you enjoy the view of the landscapes as far as the eye can see and admire an incredible contrast between colors.

High Atlas Mountains private 4x4 tour with lunch

If you're looking for remote Berber villages, mountain panoramas and bucketloads of adventure, you've found it. This 4x4 tour begins as you approach the High Atlas foothills, just a short drive from Marrakech. Soon you'll be deep into north Africa's highest mountain range, passing typical farms and rust-coloured peaks. Yasmine, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Our olive grove in Asni valley was once enough to support the whole family, but when the crop reduced due to lack of rain, we had to move to Marrakech. These days, I work as a tour guide, and I'm proud to show our guests what life in the Berber villages I know so well is like.'Your private, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicle is exclusively for you and your party. As you wind into the rugged terrain, you'll stop at the most panoramic locations to admire the view and snap some photos of the distinctive landscapes. You'll also see a local pottery studio where artisan potters use traditional methods to make ceramic products, and you can buy some items if you like.Next up, you'll explore a typical Berber village. Your guide will accompany you to a traditional home to enjoy a mint tea and try freshly baked bread. Wave goodbye to your hosts and continue through the mountains into the Asni valley, where it's time to stop for a traditional lunch. You'll round off your 4x4 adventure at the Plateau de Kik, calling in at the Tahanaout gorges on the return trip. On a private tour, the guide is at your disposal, so itinerary tweaks are possible.
