Overview

Telouet & Aït Ben Haddou

What this Full-day private Morocco tour from Marrakech covers, how the driving days are paced, and who it suits best.

The same pass, but dropping onto the old caravan road through the Ounila valley rather than the modern highway.

Telouet was the seat of the Glaoui, the family that effectively ruled the south, and the ruined kasbah still has painted and plastered rooms behind a crumbling exterior. The unsealed valley road down to Aït Ben Haddou is the reason to choose this version.

Frequently Asked Questions

About the Telouet & Aït Ben Haddou

Common questions about this Marrakech departure — pickup, the Sahara desert camp, luggage, children and payment.

How is this different from the standard trip?

It swaps highway for the old caravan road through the Ounila valley, and adds Telouet. Slower, rougher and considerably more interesting.

Do we need a 4x4?

Not strictly, but it is more comfortable on the unsealed section. We will tell you what vehicle we are sending.

Is Telouet worth the detour?

If ruins and history interest you, yes — the painted rooms are extraordinary against the state of the rest of it. If you only want the famous view, take the standard trip.
