Private Transfer from Marrakech to Ouarzazate
Traverse North Africa’s highest paved road pass with our private transfer from Marrakech to Ouarzazate. Ascending through the dramatic valleys of the High Atlas before descending into the pre-Saharan desert gateway, this journey pairs breathtaking alpine panoramas with door-to-door comfort, expert mountain drivers, and optional stops at legendary filming locations.
What to Expect on Your Journey
Your journey leaves the palm trees of Marrakech and ascends into the High Atlas via the lush Zat and Ourika foothills. Passing terraced Berber walnut villages and roadside pottery stalls, the road climbs dramatic switchbacks up to the summit of the Col du Tizi n’Tichka at 2,260 meters elevation. Dropping down into the rain-shadow of the southern slopes, the scenery transforms into stark ochre canyons, leading directly past the iconic clay towers of Ksar Ait Benhaddou into the cinematic city of Ouarzazate.
