Fantastic day trip - breathtaking views in the Atlas Mountains and great history in Ait Ben Haddou. The visit to the Atlas Studios was a bit short hence only 4 stars. Our driver Annes and our guide Mohar were brilliant. Fully recommend.

Contratamos la excursion privada en español y no tuvimos un guia que hablara el idioma realmente - el conductor de la van excelente, el guia de Ait Ben Haddou un desastre, no nos explico nada, muy poco español y las 2-3 cosas que nos dijo del lugar las podria haber leido en wikipedia

Our excursion to the Berber fortress Ait Benhaddou in Morocco was an absolute dream! From the moment we boarded the bus, we were captivated by the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture that unfolded before us. The journey itself was an adventure, with each twist and turn revealing new wonders.
As we approached Ait Benhaddou, the sight of the ancient fortress rising majestically against the desert backdrop took our breath away. Walking through the narrow streets and climbing the rugged stairs, we felt like we had stepped back in time to a place steeped in history and mystery.
Our guide regaled us with fascinating stories about the fortress and the Berber people who once called it home. We learned about their traditions, customs, and way of life, gaining a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of Moroccan culture.
The views from the top of the fortress were simply mesmerizing, with sweeping vistas of the surrounding desert and distant mountains. We spent hours exploring every nook and cranny, soaking in the beauty and serenity of this ancient marvel.
Overall, our excursion to Ait Benhaddou was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all our expectations. It was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty, and we feel truly grateful to have had the opportunity to explore such a remarkable place. We'll cherish the memories of this journey forever!
