Our journey commences from Marrakech as we traverse through the spectacular High Atlas mountains. We will travel overland via the Tichka Pass, the highest road in Morocco at 2260 meters, winding through lush valleys and Berber villages clinging to mountain ledges. Fruit and nuts trees are prolific in this fertile area. There are many opportunities to stop for a rest, photos and refreshments along the way.

We continue on to kasbah Telouet, said to be the palace of the Lord of the Atlas circa 18th century.

Our visit to UNESCO’s World Heritage site, Ait Ben Haddou, follows. The exquisitely preserved fortress stands tall along the river on the old caravan road. A hike to the top affords panoramic views and a glimpse of ancient tribal life of its age old inhabitants dating back to the 11th century.

We will enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch here before our return to Marrakech in evening.
