Overview
Ait Ben Haddou Day Trip from Ouarzazate
The Ait Ben Haddou day trip from Ouarzazate is a private excursion to the UNESCO World Heritage ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, about 30 km and 40 minutes from Ouarzazate. You walk through the earth-built houses with a local guide and can add the Taourirt kasbah and the film studios in Ouarzazate. The price is on request.
Ait Ben Haddou is a ksar of earth-built houses on a hillside by a river, and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987. Many films have been shot here.
From Ouarzazate it is a short and easy drive, so you have time to walk up to the top for the views, have lunch in the village and take photos in the best light.
In the afternoon you can visit the Taourirt kasbah in Ouarzazate and the Atlas film studios. We adapt the plan to your pace and tell you what to wear and bring.
