Continuing through southern Morocco, the itinerary passes through fragrant rose valleys, the palm groves of Skoura, and a series of historic kasbahs that once protected important caravan routes across the Sahara. One of the day’s highlights is Ait Benhaddou, the country’s most famous fortified village and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built using traditional mudbrick architecture, this extraordinary *ksar* has served as the backdrop for numerous international films and remains one of Morocco’s most iconic sites.

Crossing the foothills of the Anti-Atlas, the landscape gradually transforms into the lush Draa Valley, where thousands of date palms stretch along Morocco’s longest river.

A visit to a local women’s argan oil cooperative offers the chance to discover one of Morocco’s finest natural products, before continuing on to Marrakech, a city where history, culture and modern life blend harmoniously.
