Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Historic Ait Ben Haddou Cinematic Tour
Begin a steady journey toward Ait Ben Haddou, a well-known fortified village and UNESCO World Heritage Site about 30 km from Ouarzazate. Recognized for its appearance in films such as Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones, the site presents a clear view of local building methods and regional history. On the way, consider stopping at the Taourirt Kasbah, a large structure once home to the Glaoui family, who held influence in the area during the early 1900s. The design and layout of the kasbah reflect how people lived during that time and provide a clear example of southern Moroccan architecture. Later in the day, continue toward the Fint Oasis, a quiet place surrounded by palm trees, hills, and a small river. It’s a calm spot, offering a break from the main roads. A short walk through nearby Berber villages gives a simple look into how local communities maintain traditions in daily life. This part of the trip moves at an easy pace and offers a series of places that help build a better understanding of the area’s people, landscape, and long-standing ways of living. Once you have spent the day here, you will finish the day in Marrakech, the final stop on your Moroccan tour.
