Ait Ben Haddou
This morning you will wake up in the country that played the most important political role in the south of Morocco is the home of the powerful Berber tribe of the Glaoua family. After visiting the Kasbah of Taourirt which was once the home of the "Lords of the Atlas" we leave Ouarzazate to drive across a spectacular barren plateau with some film sets and studios where a certain number of famous movies have been shot. We will make a stop at the UNESCO-protected village of Ait Ben Haddou. This is one of the most beautiful examples of Berber architecture that UNESCO is trying to preserve. The natural beauty of the whole area and the architecture of this village have attracted many film producers who made this place the background for the making of films such as Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, Babel... Before we continue across the High Atlas mountains and go as high as 7000 ft of altitude at the Tizi N‟Tichka pass before you drive down to the plains of Marrakech.
