On this epic tour, you'll travel by 4x4 to Telouet, rumble across the dizzying Tizi n'Tichka mountain pass, and visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Aït Benhaddou. It's a blockbuster. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible. Your 4x4 adventure along the dirt road in the Atlas Mountains kicks off with the ascent to the spectacular Tizi n'Tichka pass, stopping at Taddart and Telouet – a crumbling kasbah on the former caravan route that linked Marrakech to the Sahara and take a break for lunch en route. Then, at Aït Benhaddou, you'll explore beyond its ksar walls, where Hollywood films such as Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia were filmed. Its merchant houses are a great example of earthen clay architecture. There's also a pit stop for an authentic cup of Moroccan tea before returning to Marrakech.
