Atlas Mountains - Ancient Ait Ben Haddou Day Tour from Marrakech

We had an amazing day trip from Marrakech to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou with Mohamed. He was not only an excellent driver but also a wonderful guide, making the long journey enjoyable with his knowledge, kindness, and professionalism. Everything was perfectly organized, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the day. We highly recommend Mohamed and Morocco Inspiring Tours to anyone visiting Marrakech—he truly made our experience unforgettable!

We had a nice, full day on this tour from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou. The drive across the Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass allowed us to see a lot of stunning sites, including Berber villages and ever-changing landscapes. Visiting Ait Ben Haddou was a highlight, and all entrance fees were included, making the day seamless. Our guide was great—he helped us translate and barter at a roadstop for some pottery, which felt far more authentic than shopping in the Medina. The day was well-paced for exploring, photographing, and soaking in the culture.

Led by Mohamed #1, who was bright, friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke several languages. An outstanding local guide and skilled driver with an eclectic playlist. Mohamed’s understanding of Berber land and culture (his family lives in the High Atlas) made the long drive through the mountain passes and valley very enjoyable, with plenty viewpoints and stops (including a berber breakfast and a stop at a women’s cooperative). Aït Benhaddou was impressive, well preserved and not overly crowded. Guided by a local (only 5 families reside in the fortified village) and followed by a beautiful lunch on a terrace that overlooked the UNESCO site. This was the most memorable day trip and a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. We will definitely book with Morocco Inspiring Tours should we visit again. All the best to Mohamed with his studies and future endeavours. Tanmirt!
