Day 1 — Marrakech – Tizi n'Tichka – Ouarzazate and back
Departure from Marrakech at 8am towards Ait Ourir. We cross the mountains, pass through Berber villages and enjoy many magnificent views towards the desert. We arrive at Tizi n'Tichka at 2260 meters. A stop at Tichka will be very welcome to take a tea in a Berber village where we also visit the Kasbah of Télouet, a salt mine, a bedoin village at the gates to the desert and the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a very old and renowned building recognized by the Unesco. We will have lunch in Ouarzazate, the "Hollywood" of Morocco. Afterwards we visit the film studios. Return to Marrakech late afternoon.
