Day trip to ouarzazat from Marrakech
Dating from the 11th century, Aït Benhaddou is the most famous Kasbah in Morocco and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was an important part of the ancient trade route over the High Atlas between Marrakech, Ouarzazate, and the Sahara. Near the top of the Tizi-n-Tichka pass at 2260m there are great panoramic views over the mountains as well as the snaking N9 road.
This location dubbed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, in the province of Ouarzazate, has been used as a back drop for several films and is a worthwhile stop for photo enthusiasts. Farther along is the Kasbah of Tawrirt. It absolutely gives a background on past movies produced in the area
