Itinerary
The Tizi n'Tichka pass is a spectacular pass in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, connecting Marrakech to Ouarzazate and the Draa Valley. The pass, which is about 2,260 metres above sea level, is the highest road crossing in the country and is a highlight for travellers to destinations such as Ait Benhaddou, Ouarzazate and the Sahara Desert.
One of the best places to visit is the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, which is considered a historical legacy of commercial caravans that moved from South Africa to Moroccan cities and the nature of Amazigh life at that time. Ben Haddou is considered one of the historic monuments incarnated in coherent kasbahs and Alia is what led UNESCO to classify it as a world historic monument, making it an artistic destination par excellence through the representation of an international group. filming takes place there, not to mention the wall surrounding the Kasbah following the events of the conflicts that occurred at that time. It also includes a castle at the top in addition to the nearby town Ouarzazat.
Atlas Studios is one of the largest film studios in the world, located in Ouarzazate, Morocco. Founded in 1983, it was decided to use it as a set for many international films and television series, knowing that you had to pay for desserts or stories.
After a day filled with happiness and discoveries, you return to Marrakech.

Very good driver-guide; however, there was a lot of driving for little time to visit. There was no time to enjoy the scenery, which is a shame.

Total disappointment. We didn't go into Beit Haddou, we just saw him outside and from the viewpoint. Up, down and done. The local guide spoke only difficult to understand English. The chauffeur pushed to give him five stars loving finishing the tour. I won't trust reviews anymore. And I'm sorry that these are misleading to other future customers.
Gracias por sus comentarios. Lamentamos que la experiencia no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Sin embargo, con respecto a Aït Ben Haddou, nos gustaría aclarar que la visita incluye explorar el antiguo pueblo y los miradores de los alrededores, que es lo que hacen todos nuestros grupos y que la mayoría de los clientes disfrutan sin problemas. La visita al interior de las casas particulares no está incluida, ya que todavía viven allí y algunos lugares requieren acceso local o entradas aparte. También agradecemos comentarios como el suyo, ya que nos ayudan a mejorar nuestro servicio y a supervisar mejor a nuestro personal para brindar la mejor experiencia a nuestros clientes. Les pedimos amablemente que las reseñas reflejen lo que realmente sucedió durante la excursión. En cuanto a la solicitud del conductor de una reseña de 5 estrellas, nos lo tomamos en serio, pero por favor comprenda que nuestro equipo solo solicita a los clientes comentarios honestos después de la experiencia. Para futuras reservas, también recomendamos leer detenidamente la descripción de la excursión para que las actividades incluidas queden claras antes de unirse a la misma. Gracias nuevamente por sus comentarios.
