Top-Rated Telouet & Ait Benhaddou day trip from Marrakech
Best Telouet & Ait Benhaddou day trip from Marrakech
Escape the bustling Medina of Marrakech by signing up for the private Telouet & Ait Benhaddou day trip from Marrakech allowing you to go back in time while learning about the rich history of Marrakech through its unique architecture.
Despite the day trip entailed around 7 hours of driving; however, it is worth taking the challenge as you will get back to Marrakech with embedded memories alongside with major historical incidents that have helped shape the history of Morocco.
Telouet is located in the heart of the Atlas Mountains and Ait Benhaddou is around 24 km south of Teloute standing as striking examples of the southern architecture. We also invite to take a look at the Imlil day trip from Marrakech, Ourika Valley day trip from Marrakech, or even the cultural Ouirgane & Tinmel Mosque day trip from Marrakech.
What to expect from the Telouet & Ait Benhaddou day trip from Marrakech
After breakfast in your hotel/Riad in Marrakech, we will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech for a purely cultural Telouet & Ait Benhaddou day trip from Marrakech.
Have a nice drive across the spectacular high Atlas Mountains offering panoramic views with its snow-capped peaks in the winter. Drive through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2260 m), then take a secondary route down to the very heart of mountains to the dramatic Telouet Village.
Even most of the Telouet village is crumbling; however, it powerfully depicts an era of wealth and power of the Glawi family that controlled the famous and former caravan route that used to link Marrakech with the Sahara. You will see how the life of extravagance the family used to live in.
After having a tour around the Telouet Kasbah (fortress), we will continue on the track to the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou Village. This impressive Ksar (Village) consists of many Kasbahs that was a commercial center in the former caravan route.
Ait Benhaddou has been used as a backdrop for filmmaking including the Oscar awarded Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, Kingdom of Heaven, Prince of Persia, Sahara, and many others.
After having a guided tour around this masterpiece of architecture, we will drive back to Marrakech across the Atlas Mountains and get to Marrakech in the late afternoon.
