Todra Gorge & Dades Valley (10 hours)
We're set to depart from Ouarzazate via the Road of 1,000 Kasbahs, traversing picturesque regions of inland Morocco, including the Oasis of Skoura. Continuing our journey, we'll navigate through the magnificent M'Goun Valley, characterized by quaint villages and vast expanses of rosebushes.
The excursion will proceed through the renowned Dades Valley, celebrated for its breathtaking gorges within the High Atlas. After soaking in the scenery, we will head to the legendary Todra Gorge to witness its towering canyon walls, which reach heights of over 980 feet (300 meters).
A one-hour break for lunch will be provided in the vicinity, after which we will make our way back to Ouarzazate, stopping at the historic Kasbah Amridil, a 17th-century fortress located in Skoura.
Schedule: daily at 8:30 am
Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou (6 hours)
Our journey will take us north from Ouarzazate to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a remarkable citadel recognized as a World Heritage Site.
During a guided exploration of the kasbah, we will discover its cinematic background, having served as the backdrop for several scenes from the acclaimed series Game of Thrones, as well as legendary films like Gladiator, The Mummy, and Lawrence of Arabia.
Following this visit, we will take you to a nearby restaurant for a meal before returning to Ouarzazate, passing through the scenic Ounilla Valley and glimpsing the Tourirt Kasbah from the outside.

Fint Oasis (7 hours)
After picking you up at your hotel in Ouarzazate, we will stop at the town's Cinema Museum to delve into its rich connection to the film industry, where many productions have utilized the studios adjacent to the Kasbah Taourirt, our next destination.
Next, we will drive for approximately 30 minutes through the desert to reach the stunning Fint Oasis, an oasis that flourishes amid arid surroundings. Here, lush date palms flank the riverbanks, creating a vibrant oasis landscape.
After enjoying an hour for lunch in the area, we will return to Ouarzazate.
