1 hourAit Ben Haddou
We will visit the Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou a few kilometers before Ouarzazate, which is renowned as Morocco’s Hollywood because of its famed studios. A tour around its adobe perimeter will show us why it was awarded a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. (optional entrance). We’ll also make a photo stop at the Taourirt Kasbah.

1 hourtodra gorges
The second day of this journey through the Moroccan desert begins with an energetic breakfast at the riad and will end in Merzouga and its famous dunes of Erg Chebbi. But first, the day has another major attraction: the Todra Gorges. This is the name given to the rocky walls of up to 200 meters that have been chiseled over the years by the Todra River. The road here makes unlikely twists and turns and offers views typical of science fiction, and we will descend to walk through some of its most emblematic sections.

After that, we’ll drive to Rissani, where we’ll explore its medina, which is one of the most beautiful in the country’s south.
