Mountain High

Clive_C, Apr 2024
A breathtaking drive through mountain passes. Air Ben Haddou is well preserved being a World Heritage Site and worth the walk into the citadel. An excellent lunch. Our driver Ibrahim was charming and a very fine and careful driver. The roads, following the earthquake, have been cleared and restored, but it was sad to see the damage to local villages and people having to live in tents whist their homes are rebuilt. Despite all of this they are charming and hospitable people. Souvenirs are as good and often less expensive than in major towns.

The street to the desert was closed because of snowing, then the guides offered us immediately to make another trip in a sunny area of marroco essaouira. It was a very great trip. The guides Mubarak and Hamid were very friendly and told us a lot of interesting things about the wonderful nature and culture of moroccans. It was a perfect day.

We had a most excellent trip. Lassan is a very experienced, careful and safe driver with a most comfortable four wheel drive. He is a very intelligent, friendly and caring guide. He safeguarded us from unpleasant experiences. He told us a lot about Berber culture. The whole trip was excellently organized. I would certainly recommend him for any trip. Flawless. we wish him the best for his future.

The car ride was fun but you should...

rujirutana_M, Mar 2017
The car ride was fun but you should be prepared for a car sick. The road was very winding and climbing up the high altitude could be an issue. The different landscape and authentic Maroc way of life was worth seeing. The actual Ait Ben Haddou was not that great. It was a ruin that was not worth visiting. The site was just a ruin kasbah without anything appealing. The movie museum in Quarzazate was terrible. The display was bad. It was nothing comparable to any museums you know in the U.S.
