Day Trip from Marrakech to Ait benhaddou &Telouat



Overview:

Ait Ben Haddou and Telouet Kasbahs roadtrip will allow you the opportunity to encounter the best of the south, study the Glaoui clans and visit the most well known kasbahs of Morocco. Cross the Atlas Mountains and take the way to the Sahara Desert and the old caravane courses.

Ait benhadou and Telouet Kasbahs roadtrip takes you across the chain of the High Atlas mountains and over the popular Tizi-n-Tichka pass, one of the most sensational passes in Morocco (The governement began a venture to redesign a major piece of the street after an appalling transport mishap in 2012 and the work is as yet continuous because of the unforgiving winter environment and topography). Up and down the street you can see Berber towns dissipated at the edge of the mountains, at times difficult to recognize from the precipitous escort. As you arrive at the furthest side of the mountains the scene changes radically, becoming semi-dry and desert-like as the chain of the Atlas mountains goes about as boundary isolating the Mediterranean environment of the north from the Arid desertic twists on the south-east.
After the Tichka pass 2162m, we leave the fundamental street and agree with a particular stance street to the Telouet Kasbah, which had a place with the Pacha of the Atlas, the Glaoui, and remains in ruins after the last Pasha escaped the country after the takeoff of the French militaries. In the primary kasbah you will visit a couple of rooms that should be visible, as a significant part of the kasbah has been shut off in light of the falling roofs and perilous dividers. In any case, the tiled dividers, fluted support points, perfectly painted wooden roofs and shaded glass windows of the banquet halls permit you to envision what it resembled thriving.
From that point you go on for lunch at Ait Ben Haddou along the recently asphalted street. Once in the town, you will draw a nearer take a gander at the Kasbah's design with turrets on every one of the structures, decorated with barbecued windows and delicate peach shaded dividers. These customary houses are made of adobe, exceptionally reasonable for the climat states of the south and the summets of the mountains since it is a proficient temperature isolator and the structure materials are bountiful and require no transportation or critical change process.The evening is spent investigating the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Benhaddou, This is the most well known of every single Moroccan kasbah, generally because of its appearance in numerous Hollywood blockbusters. It was one of the main fort fortresses on the old Salt Road troop courses, where brokers brought slaves, gold, ivory and salt from sub-Saharan Africa to Marrakech and then some. Prior to leaving Ait Benhaddou, you will take on last glimps of the town from a far off point offering a magnificent all encompassing perspective particularly under clear blue skies.
