• Visit Atlas Cinema Studios
• Discover Kasbah of Taourirt

The experience

You leave Agadir and drive toward the Atlas Mountains, watching the landscape shift as the road climbs. The journey itself is part of the day: the views open up gradually, and the driver handles all the navigation while you sit back in an air-conditioned vehicle. Pickup from your hotel is included, so there's no need to arrange transport to the meeting point.

At Ksar Ait Ben Haddou, you stop for lunch and then have free time to walk through the kasbah at your own pace. The mud-brick fortress that has stood for centuries and appeared in films from Game of Thrones to The Mummy. From there you move on to Atlas Cinema Studios in Ouarzazate, where you can see the sets and backdrops from legendary films shot on location. The guide can walk you through the history, or you can explore on your own. The choice is yours. The final stop is Kasbah Taourirt, another fortress you're free to wander through solo or, if you want deeper context, you can hire a local guide at the site (not included in the tour price).

The whole day runs about ten hours door to door. WiFi is available on board if you need to stay connected during the drive, and the guide speaks either English or French depending on your preference.
