À propos de cette excursion

Most day trips race you straight to Aït Benhaddou for a photo and back. This one takes the road less driven. You cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass into the High Atlas, turn off to the forgotten Glaoui kasbah and ancient salt mines of Telouet — places the coaches skip — then arrive at Aït Benhaddou through the old caravan side, guided by someone who grew up here. A stop with a local artisan makes it real, not a souvenir-shop sales pitch. It's a taste of the deep South — and the perfect first step before the longer journey. Book it, and the price comes off your multi-day trip if you go deeper within 30 days.

Programme jour par jour

07:30

Pickup & the Tizi n'Tichka Pass

Your driver collects you from your riad. We climb the highest paved road in North Africa (2,260m) — hairpins, Berber villages clinging to cliffs, mint tea on the way up.

Private transport

10:30

Telouet Kasbah & Salt Mines

Turn off where the coaches keep going. The crumbling Glaoui palace hides some of the most intricate zellij and carved cedar in Morocco — almost to yourself — and the centuries-old salt mines worked by the village nearby.

Hidden kasbah

13:00

Local Lunch & Artisan Stop

A relaxed lunch at a family-run spot, then time with a local artisan — see the craft, hear the story, no sales pressure. This is the thread that runs through every Saharasis journey.

Artisan visit

14:30

Aït Benhaddou — The Quiet Side

Arrive at the legendary earthen city (Gladiator, Game of Thrones) from the old caravan side with your local guide. Cross the river, climb to the granary, and watch the light turn the mud-brick gold.

UNESCO site

17:00

Return to Marrakech

Back over the Atlas as the sun drops. Arrive at your riad by around 19:30 — already dreaming of going deeper South.

“I was nervous about being scammed — Morocco has a reputation. But Saharasis was completely different. Everything was exactly as described, the quad bike guide was professional and fun, and paying on arrival meant I had zero anxiety about losing money if plans changed. Will recommend to everyone.”

“Honestly the best evening of our whole trip. The quad bit was such a laugh, then the camels at golden hour — didn't expect to get a bit emotional but I did! Dinner round the fire with the drummers was magic. We were like 15 min late leaving our riad and Rachid just said no worries, take your time. Book it, you won't regret it x”

“The hot air balloon was the highlight of our entire Morocco trip — and honestly, one of the best experiences of our lives. Rachid was responsive on WhatsApp from day one, the sunrise views were absolutely breathtaking, and the Berber breakfast afterwards was a perfect ending. 100% book this.”
