Morocco Adventure Tours From Marrakech

By David Gonzalez C. .

Marrakech is a captivating city that offers innumerable opportunities to explore Morocco's countryside, beach resorts, mountain ranges and desert areas. From Marrakech, an extraordinarily well connected city, it is easy to travel to some of the most marvellous places in the country, including the "Land of the Thousand Kasbahs" in the Ouarzazate region, a trekking or rafting expedition in the Ourika Valley or a visit to the stunning Ouzoud Cascades.

1. Ouarzazate - Tizi n'Tichka - Ait Benhaddou

The route to Ouarzazate through the Tizi n'Tichka Pass on the High Atlas and to the stunning Ait Benhaddou Kasbah is an astounding itinerary that offers a first glimpse of the desert on the gateway to the Sahara Desert, as well as an incomparable chance to visit the great Kasbahs built by the Berber tribes who once ruled the High Atlas region.

One of the top places on this path is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou, an impressive ksar or fortified village consisting of a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, in the manner of a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers.

In Ouarzazate, you can't miss a visit to the Atlas Film Studios, where numerous films were shot, including "Lawrence of Arabia", "the Mummy", "Gladiator", "Cleopatra", and "the Jewel of the Nile" among many others.<<more>>
