Our private guided tour from Marrakech to Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou was a mix of stunning landscapes, cultural insights, and a frustrating surprise at the end.
The day started smoothly at 7:00 AM. Since cars weren’t allowed near our riad, our driver, Yusuf, arranged a nearby meeting point and kept us informed via WhatsApp. He was friendly and accommodating, ensuring we were comfortable in the VW van. Though the journey was long (3 to 4 hours), the scenic stops—coffee breaks, an argan oil cooperative, and breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains—made it enjoyable. A big plus was that there was no pressure to buy anything.
In Ouarzazate, we explored a historic Berber kasbah with a knowledgeable local guide who even helped us capture great photos. After the tour, we were offered mint tea and had the opportunity to purchase beautifully crafted Berber and Tuareg carpets—completely optional. Since we weren’t interested in the movie studios, we opted to spend extra time at Ait Benhaddou instead.
Lunch was at a large tourist-friendly restaurant with tagines and pizzas priced around 140 DH per person. Then came the biggest disappointment: upon arriving at Ait Benhaddou, we found out it was closed due to the final day of filming for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie The Odyssey. This was the highlight of the tour, and we weren’t informed in advance. Had we known, we would have appreciated the chance to reschedule or choose a different excursion. Instead, a young and enthusiastic Berber guide provided insightful explanations, but we could only admire the city from afar.
The return trip to Marrakech took 3.5 hours, bringing us back at 6:30 PM. While the journey was beautiful and the guides were excellent, the lack of prior notice about Ait Benhaddou’s closure left a bitter taste. A great tour overall, but better communication from the tour operator was needed.
