Your first stop is the stunning Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar known for its earthen architecture and cinematic fame in movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones.
After exploring, continue to Ouarzazate and through the fragrant Roses Valley before reaching the magnificent Dades Valley. Admire the red rock formations shaped by time and settle into your riad for a peaceful evening.
