Then continue your trip via the Road of One Thousand Kasbahs, passing the Skoura palm oasis before arriving in Ouarzazate. Visit the UNESCO heritage Kasbah Ait Benhaddou. In typical Moroccan fashion, the true treasures must be searched out and discovered... usually off the beaten path. In actuality, this setting has been used for more films than any other location in Morocco; films including, Lawrence of Arabia, Jesus of Nazareth, and recently The Gladiator. Lunch can be taken at Ait Benhaddou. We will visit the Kasbah of Telouet which was occupied by the Pacha Glaoui during his reign and is frequented by Moroccan travelers. It sits in the village of Telouet located outside the Onilla Valley. The Harem and reception hall areas give one a good idea of the former luxury in which El Glaoui lived, as well as a look at the Andalusian style of decorating. However, the older parts of the Kasbah are in complete ruins, making it difficult to see properly. Walking through the crumbling passageways is like walking through a maze and some have gotten lost exploring the ruined Kasbah. In the afternoon, we cross over the High Atlas mountains towards Marrakech. Drop off at your accommodation.

Casablanca Tour Reviews
“Overpriced and not as advertised ”
When I accepted Go With Guide's advertised price of $450, the price increased to $550 without explanation. The desert experience at erg chebbi was much less than promise. We hardly spent any time on the dunes and did not camp in tents that were advertised. Instead we spent the night in a tent hotel. The tents were so hot we were advised to sleep outside. In Morocco there were similar tours that cost signifigantly less. The best part of the tour was the riad in Fez.
