By late morning, visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, a historic kasbah featured in many international films. Walk through its maze of mud-brick streets and admire the ancient fortifications.
Continue to Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Desert,” then drive through the Skoura Oasis with its lush palm groves and earth-built kasbahs.
