Private Excursions from Ouarzazate

Our private excursions

When you make your reservation, you can choose one of the following private tours from Ouarzazate. They all include pickup from your hotel, transportation, an English-speaking guide, entrance fees and return transfer:

Todra Gorge & Dades Valley (10 hours)

We'll depart from Ouarzazate taking the Road of 1,000 Kasbahs, crossing beautiful places in inland Morocco like the Oasis of Skoura. From there, we'll continue the route through the M'Goun Valley, a unique depression dotted with small towns and extensive swathes of rosebushes.

The route will continue through the Dades Valley, one of the main Moroccan gorges of the High Atlas. After taking in views of its landscapes, we'll go to the nearby Todra Gorge to marvel at the walls of its canyon, reaching over 980 feet (300 meters).

You'll have an hour free for lunch in the area, after which we'll return to Ouarzazate, making a stop at the Kasbah Amridil, a 17th-century fortress in Skoura.

Schedule: daily at 8:30 am

Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou (6 hours)

From Ouarzazate, we'll move north to the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a spectacular citadel of the Moroccan desert declared a World Heritage Site.

On a guided tour of the kasbah, we'll learn about the cinematic history of this walled enclosure, where several episodes of the series Game of Thrones have been filmed. It has also served as a setting for scenes in famous films like Gladiator, The Mummy and Lawrence of Arabia!

After this visit, we'll take you to a restaurant next to the kasbah so you can grab a bite to eat. Finally, on the way back to Ouarzazate we'll pass through the beautiful Ounilla Valley. We'll also be able to see the Tourirt Kasbah from the outside.

Schedule: daily at 9 am, 10 am and 11 am

Fint Oasis (7 hours)

After picking you up at your hotel in Ouarzazate, we'll visit the town's Cinema Museum to learn about its long-established link with filmmaking. Many series and movies shot in this area of inland Morocco have been filmed in the studios located next to the Kasbah Taourirt, which will be the next stop on our tour.

We'll then leave Ouarzazate behind and embark on a 30-minute drive through the desert towards the Fint Oasis, a beautiful setting in the middle of the desert. Here, date palms grow on the banks of a river, creating a lush landscape surrounded by arid terrain.

Finally, after an hour free for lunch in the area, we'll return to Ouarzazate.

Schedule: daily at 9 am and 10 am

Types of guides

The visits to the Fint Oasis and the kasbahs of Taourit and Ait Ben Haddou will take place with a local guide. The rest of the visits will take place with a driver who knows the area.
