Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakech - high Atlas - Ounila valley - Ait benhaddou - Roses valley

Stop At: High Atlas Mountains, 40000 Morocco
The High Atlas rises in the west at the Atlantic Ocean and stretches in an eastern direction to the Moroccan-Algerian border. At the Atlantic and to the southwest the range drops abruptly and makes an impressive transition to the coast and the Anti-Atlas range. To the north, in the direction of Marrakech, the range descends less abruptly.
The High-Atlas Mountains are inhabited by Berbers, who live from agriculture and pastoralism in the valleys. In the steppe zone of the High-Atlas, where precipitations are low, the locals created a smart technique in managing the low precipitations and the weak soil. They turn the rather semi-arid lands into fertile valleys called locally by Agdal (garden in Berber). This technique has intrigued many Western agriculturalists, in which they were impressed by the high efficiency of this agricultural system. Many scientists, particularly French scientists, make yearly expeditions to observe the community and their living system.
Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Ait Ben Haddou, Ait Ben Haddou, Souss-Massa-Draa Region
Outstanding universal value
Ksar Ait Benhaddou
Brief summary

Located on the foothills of the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the province of Ouarzazate, the site of Aït-Ben-Haddou is the most famous of the ksour in the Ounila valley. The Ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco. The Ksar is an essentially collective grouping of dwellings. Inside the defensive walls reinforced with corner towers and pierced with a chicane door, crowded numerous residential houses, some modest, the others appearing as small urban castles with their high corner towers decorated at the top with decorative patterns in raw brick, but also buildings and community spaces. It is an extraordinary set of buildings offering a complete panorama of pre-Saharan earth construction techniques. The oldest constructions do not appear before the seventeenth century, although their structure and technique have spread from a very distant time in the valleys of southern Morocco. The site would also have been one of the many trading posts on the trade route that linked ancient Sudan to Marrakech via the Dra valley and the Tizi-n'Telouet pass. Architecturally, the structure of the habitat is in the form of a compact, closed and suspended grouping. The public spaces of the ksar consist of a mosque, a public square, grain threshing areas outside the ramparts, a fortification and an attic at the top of the village, a caravanserai, two cemeteries (Muslim and Jewish) and the sanctuary of Saint Sidi Ali or Amer. The Ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou is a perfect synthesis of the earthen architecture of the pre-Saharan regions of Morocco.

Criterion 1: The Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou is an eminent example of a ksar from southern Morocco illustrating the main types of earthen constructions observed from the 17th century in the Dra, Todgha valleys, Dades and Souss.

Criterion 2: The Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou illustrates the traditional earthen habitat, representative of South Moroccan culture, which has become vulnerable due to irreversible socio-economic and cultural changes

Stop At: Telouet, Telouet, Souss-Massa-Draa Region
The Ounila Valley links the Tizi n Tichka pass to Ait Ben Haddou and was originally the main thoroughfare for the trans-saharan trade route between Marrakesh and sub-saharan Africa. Today, evidence of this once highly important role is reflected in the numerous crumbling kasbah’s and ksar which are dotted all throughout the valley.
Telouet Kasbah : is a Kasbah along the former route of the caravans from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. The kasbah was the seat of the El Glaoui family's power, thus sometimes also called the Palace of Glaoui, and it was built in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Stop At: Ouarzazate, Ouarzazate, Souss-Massa-Draa Region
Ouazarzate est connue comme étant un peu le Hollywood berbère : la beauté de ses décors naturels et la qualité de la lumière ont attiré nombre de réalisateurs. Etant située à la confluence des vallées du Drâa et du Dadès, la ville est une étape obligée pour le Sud marocain. Elle possède une jolie kasbah qui appartenait au pacha El Glaoui. Sinon, le centre de Ouarzazate n’a rien d’extraordinaire.

Stop At: Roses Valley, El Kelaa M'gouna N10, El Kelaa M'gouna 45800 Morocco
The Valley of the Roses takes its name from the fact that many roses are grown but which only bloom twice a year, from the end of April to June. It could also be called "pink valley" because of the color of its soil. Wonderful landscapes.
The town of Kelaat M’Gouna in the Souss-Massa-Draâ region of the province of Tinghir Province in Morocco is most likely best known for the Festival of Roses which celebrates the rose petal harvest in May each year. Kelaat M’Gouna, also known as El-Kelaa, is home to the country’s largest rose water and rose oil manufacturers – products which are used extensively in fragrances, beauty products and the traditional cuisine of Morocco. Visitors to the manufacturers can purchase rose water and other rose-scented products, bearing in mind that it takes up to three tons of rose petals to produce one liter of rose water...
