Nice Ouarzazate day trip!

We had a great time visiting Ait Ben Haddou with the local guide (40 MAD per person, but worth it!). The Kasbah is beautiful and this day trip from Marrakech is a good way to see the desert without having to dedicate several days. Ouarzazate was also great, but we preferred the Kasbah because we weren’t really interested in film history.

Amazing day trip to Ait ben Haddou!

The drive was quite long, but there were enough stops along the way and it gave us a chance to see the country outside of the city. Ait Ben Haddou was a very interesting destination and we had enough time to explore it. The food at the restaurant was very good. The bus was comfortable and safe. Our driver/guide was very professional and friendly.

Nice journey

We booked a private Ait ben Haddou tour that included pickup from our riad, a private driver, and lunch. Ahmed, our driver, was excellent. He made sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. Our guide in Ait Benhaddou, Aziz, was fantastic. He gave us so much information and introduced us to his family in the Kasbah. Everyone was friendly and the tagine lunch was perfect.
