Destinations Overview Of Our 5 Days Tour From Marrakech To Fes

Ait Ben Haddou.

Ait Ben Haddou is an old Ighram or Ksar surrounded by high walls. It is a UNESCO Heritage site thanks to its unique architecture and rich history. Many families had lived here before most of them moved to modern places. Besides, the Kasbah is among the best film places in Morocco.

Ouarzazate.

The second day of the 5 Days Marrakech to Fes desert tour highlights Ouarzazate town. It is another wonderful town in the High Atlas mountains dominated by Berbers. The town presents great historical features and even tourist attractions. Firstly, the town was a small crossing point for Sub-Saharan traders to travel to the north of Morocco. They brought African goods on camels and sold them in Morocco and Europe.

Secondly, the town is home to movies as well. It offers Atlas Studios where there are all materials for producing films. It is the biggest Atlas Film Studio all over the world. Ouarzazate is also home to old kasbahs, like the 19th century Kasbah of Taourirte. The town has a typical temperature. It gets hot and dry in summer, while in winter gets cold. The icy wind that blows from the High Atlas Mountains makes it colder, unlike other desert areas. Ouarzazate is not only a tourist destination but also a crucial historical city in Morocco.

Tinghir

Tinghir is a city in the region of Drâa-Tafilalet. you can visit it in the south of the High Atlas and the north of the Little Atlas in central Morocco. Besides, it is one of the lucky places in Morocco where oases are grown on river tracks under the huge mountains. In addition to this, Tinghir is, commonly, a resident of the Berber population which has a special culture and customs. That is why Tinghir isn’t just an itinerary pause station for tourists. However, it is a destination for tourists of mountain climbing sports because of its high proximity to the Todgha Gorges and the other virgin places nearby. Another powerful point in the destination is its strategic localization, which links between Marrakech and the Sahara desert of Morocco.
