★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 9,447 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $21Our pick

Review of Marrakech to Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou day trip, with Atlas Mountain views, film studios, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Ait Benhaddou was amazing, the village is very well preserved, we saw the magic berber ink and the views were great. Lunch was overpriced and not very good but the studios after we're totally worth the 8€. We saw a lot of sets from famous movies and took a lot of great pictures. Ramania, our guide and driver was funny and helpful and gave us a lot of information during the long trip about the history of the places we passed.”

“Such a great day trip I’d recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech! Beautiful scenery for the whole journey, guide was helpful. Would recommend going to the local restaurants for lunch as much cheaper and nicer seating area. Also would have been nice to stop somewhere with more food options for breakfast, there was only drinks and biscuits / crisps. So would recommend bringing a packed breakfast from your riad if possible! I wasn’t expected much from the atlas studios but really loved them too! Overall a great day.”
