The Ouarzazate to Ait Benhaddou tour typically concludes around 5:at 00 PM and if this depends with the number of occurrences on the way or the many stops that we make within the town will determine our return to Ouarzazate in the evening.
Daily walking is taken up to a moderate level mainly covering areas around the ksar and kasbah toured in the day. It’s not hard to enrol physically, and the work process is not intense with long intervals. We advise to wear comfortable shoes.
Yes there are guides available in both Ait Benhaddou and Telouet Kasbah to explain the background of the buildings. There are also self tours if you want to go on a random self-touring spree.
Absolutely, I have lunch taken in moroccan restaurant and there we get to enjoy local cuisines which include tagine, couscous and salads.
If on foot, be sure to wear comfortable shoes for walking and carry a hat and some sunscreen because there is usually a lot of sun especially when traveling to northern Europe. may need a jacket as it gets a bit chilly in the morning and in the evening.
There is a hike in Ait Benhaddou where you have to wander about on uneven terrains and the same goes for the Kasbah of Telouet so the tour will not be very friendly for people with mobility impairments. If you require any support or have particular questions please do not hesitate to inform us.
If we get an opportunity, we should definitely take a one-and- half to two hours’ drive from Ouarzazate to Ait Benhaddou. The drive to the place passes through the valley and so it is rather cheerful.
We recommend to do this day trip in spring which is March, April and May or early autumn, September, October and November. Summer and it can be very hot particularly in the desert areas and on the other hand winter it can be very cold in the mountains.
