Morocco · AIT BEN HADDOU AND KASBAH TOURS
Getting there means the Tizi n Tichka pass, which is most of the day in itself. These 15 compare the one-day dashes with the overnight runs that carry on to the desert, priced and clear about how long you actually get at the ksar.

Review of the 2-day Marrakech to Zagora tour, with Ait Ben Haddou, Atlas Mountain views, camel rides, desert camp, costs, and tips.
“Jamaal was an excellent driver who took great care of us and answered lots of questions about the area. The size of the group (7 travelers) was great and we had a lot of fun. Highlight was the camel ride and camp in the desert. The guides there were great as well. Enjoyed the drive to see landscape and towns along the way. Did not need a guide for Ait Ben Haddou. Would recommend this 2-day trip for seeing outside of Marrakech.”
Review of Marrakech’s Ouarzazate day trip, with Atlas Mountain views, Ait Ben Haddou, film studios, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“The main attraction that we were visiting for the day (Ait Benhaddou) was closed due to a film shoot. The bus driver did not inform us about it until we had boarded the bus and were well an hour into our journey. We just travelled for 8 hours in a bus for nothing. Had I been given any information about this event, I would have just hopped off the bus in Marrakesh itself and had an extra day to see the city. Extremely dishonest and very tiring. Atlas studios was not worth the money and the lunch place was strictly okay. If you get the last seat on the bus…”

“We had a lovely time visiting Ait Benhaddou with the local guide (40 dh per person, but well worth it!). The kasbah is gorgeous, and this day trip is a good way to see the desert without a multi-day commitment. Ouarzazate was also nice, but we preferred the kasha since we had limited interest in film history.”
Review this Marrakech day trip to Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate, with Atlas Mountain views, film studios, lunch options, costs, and honest tips.
“We were picked up at the agreed location on time & we went to all the place that was listed. They were all wonderful. However the place that was appointed to have lunch was really expensive. The lunch price set at 130dirham. And we ended up paying 330dirham for 2 of us. 70dirham for a bottle of small coke & a glass of jus d'orange? Wow. The driver was nice and friendly but we are kind of struggling to communicate as his english is limited. Overall a nice tour with a few bumps.”
