You're in for a real treat on this private 4x4 tour that shows off the very best of the High Atlas Mountains. You'll start by winding your way through tiny Berber villages and mountain scenery, stopping in Taddart for a quick break before climbing higher into the peaks. There's also a stop at Tizi n'Tichka, where the views stretch across the valley. Hassan, one of our local guides, says, “from up here you can trace the old caravan route that helped shape Marrakech. It's a reminder of why these landscapes are so unique to Morocco – you won't find anything like them in Europe.” From there, you'll carry on towards the village of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco's most iconic kasbahs. Before exploring, you'll tuck into lunch right in front of the fortress, with views you might recognise from films like Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia. After eating, your guide will lead you through the maze of earthen alleys, sharing stories of the families who once lived there – and the ones who still do.

If you're up for it, you can even walk all the way to the top for desert views over the plains. Once you've soaked up the atmosphere, it's time to head back towards Marrakech, retracing the mountain pass and enjoying the scenery from a fresh angle.
