3-Day Atlas & Kasbahs: Ouarzazate and the Dadès Gorges

No desert night — just mountains, oases and the most beautiful kasbahs of the south.

3 days · 2 nights From Marrakech Private tour

01Overview

A slower, scenic loop through the High Atlas and the kasbah country: Telouet, Aït Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, the Skoura palm grove and the Dadès gorge.

Not everyone wants to sleep in the desert — and southern Morocco has much more than dunes. This tour takes the old caravan road through Telouet and the Ounila valley to Aït Ben Haddou, spends a night in the Ouarzazate area and explores the Skoura oasis and the switchbacks of the Dadès gorge.

Ideal for photographers, families with young children and anyone who prefers comfortable hotels and shorter driving days.

  • The Glaoui kasbah of Telouet
  • Ounila valley, the old caravan road
