Stop to explore the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a stunning fortified village and UNESCO World Heritage site. Known for its appearance in movies like Lawrence of Arabia and Game of Thrones, it’s a true cinematic gem.

Continue through Ouarzazate, home to famous film studios and the impressive Taourirt Kasbah. Journey into the Valley of Roses and finally reach the Dades Valley, where you’ll spend the night in a charming local hotel.
