Day Trip from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou: Explore the High Atlas Mountains and UNESCO Heritage Site
Join us for an unforgettable day trip from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou, where you'll experience the stunning beauty of the High Atlas Mountains. Your adventure begins with a drive through the famous Tizi N Tichka Pass, the highest mountain pass in Africa at 2,260 meters.
