Your journey begins with an early departure, crossing the awe-inspiring Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the highest road in Morocco. You'll be treated to panoramic views of the High Atlas Mountains. Your first destination is the iconic Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed fortified village constructed from earthen clay that has endured for over a millennium. Here, you'll meander through narrow alleys and age-old kasbahs while your guide explains why this dramatic location has been chosen by filmmakers worldwide for productions such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia.

The adventure continues at Atlas Film Studios, Africa's largest film studio. You'll delve into the heart of Morocco's filmmaking process, exploring vast sets, props, and behind-the-scenes areas from international movies and series. Afterward, savour a traditional Moroccan lunch at a local eatery before embarking on the scenic drive back to Marrakech. There will be opportunities to stop at panoramic viewpoints to capture images of the serpentine roads, snow-capped peaks (in winter), and charming mountain villages.
