Full description

On the far side of the mountains the landscape becomes desert-like. Admire the kasbah architecture featuring turrets, grilled windows, and peach-colored adobe walls. Continue to the ancient kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stop in Ouarzazate, known as Morocco's Hollywood. Movies filmed there including Diamond of the Nile, Lawrence of Arabia, Kingdom of Heaven, The Mommy, Gladiator, Seven Days in Tibet, Alexander the Great, Babel, and others.

I absolutely LOVED this experience. Having the private driver made stops, photos, and asking questions so easy and pleasant. My driver, Mustafa Ourzazate, was the best! He didn't rush the experience, he answered all my questions and held great conversation, and took the time to show me around some special spots. He didn't mind when I nodded off for a brief nap (traveling for days can be tiring), and he was so considerate - I didn't feel any pressure to keep constant conversation, and was able to rest and just enjoy. My guide for the Ait Ben Haddou tour, Imod, was so cool! He was knowledgable, funny, spoke clear English, and taught me a bit of Berber, too. I highly recommend hiring the private driver for your experience ~ it is worth the little bit extra, you'll get to see more, and you'll be comfortable in the vehicle. I recommend using this service for the guide ~ maybe you COULD go through on your own, but you'd be missing a special opportunity to connect with a really cool native.

An excellent informative full day trip conducted by Youssef whose english was perfect and driving safe and comfortable. Lunch was expensive for what it was and we would have liked to have been offered a choice of locations so we could choose....but just a minor thing.

Het was een heel mooie excursie. De chauffeur nam de mooie route via Telouet. Er was genoeg ruimte voor foto’s. Lunch was wel in een groot restaurant , maar het even was goed. Lunchen daar was ook optioneel, dus het was zeker niet verplicht. We hadden er aardige en nette gids. De auto was luxe en comfortabel. Uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding.
