    The journey starts in Marrakech, where we’ll pick you up from your hotel or Riad, and ride across the Tizi N’ Tichka Mountain pass, the highest one in North Africa. The drive will take about 2 hours, and we will of course stop to take pictures in the beautiful scenery and have a good, filling Moroccan breakfast.

    We will then drive again towards Ouarzazate, commonly named the Hollywood of Morocco (since a lot of movies were made there, like Brad Pitt’s Babel), where you’ll be able to visit the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage and an example of an old fortified Moroccan city. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the Atlas Film Studios for a cinematic experience after having a good lunch in the city.

    After that, we’ll be on the road again for a few hours to reach Skoura (on our way to Dades Valley), a magical little town embroidered with Kasbahs everywhere. We’ll stay in a hotel in the Dades Valley, where you’ll be able to have some rest before the next adventure!
