This three-day loop is built for travellers who want to see the very best of southern Morocco without rushing: the UNESCO kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, the hidden palm grove of Fint Oasis, the dramatic ‘Monkey Fingers’ rock formations of the Dadès Gorges, and the rose-scented cooperative of Kalaat M'Gouna, before finishing among the towering limestone walls of the Todra Gorges.
Travelling entirely on sealed roads along the celebrated Route of the Kasbahs, it's an easy-paced introduction to the landscapes and Berber culture of the Atlas foothills — ideal if your time is limited but your curiosity isn't.
Cross the High Atlas via the Tizi-n-Tichka pass with photo stops. Visit the UNESCO Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou — filming location for Gladiator and Game of Thrones — then stop at the hidden Fint Oasis, a palm grove and pisé village just outside Ouarzazate, before continuing along the Route of the Kasbahs to Boumalne Dadès.
Explore the Dadès Gorges and the extraordinary ‘Monkey Fingers’ rock formations along the Route of a Thousand Kasbahs. Visit the rose water cooperative in the Mgoun Valley at Kalaat M'Gouna, then continue to the Todra Gorges, where limestone cliffs rise up to 300 metres above the riverbed.
