Marrakech Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou & Ouarzazate Full-Day UNESCO Site Tour

Overall, we had a great experience with this tour. The package mainly includes transportation & a driver who takes you to the tourist spots listed in the itinerary. It doesn’t include a tour guide, meals, or other extras. While you can hire a guide at the tourist spots, we didn’t find it necessary since the places are easy to explore on your own. Our driver was very kind, friendly, & accommodating. He shared helpful information along the way & even took us to nearby cities that were not included in the itinerary. Although hotel pickup wasn’t part of the package, he still picked up & dropped us off at our hotel without any extra charge. The only minor issue was the limited ventilation inside the minibus. Since it was cold outside, we understand why the air conditioning wasn’t used, but a bit more airflow would have been more comfortable. Aside from that, everything was smooth and well organized. It was a very enjoyable trip, & we truly appreciated the driver’s kindness and flexibility.

Highly recommended trip to Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou !!! This is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its clay architecture that looks like it rose out of the earth. I did not realize it was a famous film location where 40+ major films have been shot, including Game of Thrones and Gladiator. Our tour guide was absolutely wonderful, he explained that the local Berber villagers build the additional sets needed, like the arena in Gladiator. They also serve as extras in the films. The film industry is huge in nearby Ouarzazate, where you can choose to tour Atlas Studios or go to a Museum of Cinema. The drive is long but beautiful through the Atlas Mountains.

The Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou & Ouarzazate tour was a really good experience with absolutely amazing views throughout the trip. The guide was very friendly, helpful, and made the journey enjoyable. Even though the trip can be a bit tiring because of the long travel and heat, it is definitely worth visiting such a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you are visiting during summer, make sure to be well prepared for the heat. Overall, it was a memorable and worthwhile experience.
