This 3-day tour is almost exclusively mountain-based, with the crossing of the 2 highest passes (tarmac roads) in Morocco, the Tiz’n Test (2100 m) and the Tiz’n Tichka (2260 m). An escapade in the High Atlas with, as the icing on the cake, an incursion along the Drâa Valley and the discovery of the Kasbah Ait BenHaddou, classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. If you’re a fan of twists and turns and picturesque landscapes packed into 3 days, this is the getaway for you.
Day 1 : After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, you will be transferred to our departure base. Head due south towards the Tiz’n Test pass. You are plunged straight into the High Atlas. An extraordinary route, but a region that suffered the full force of the earthquake of 8 September 2023. After lunch with breathtaking views, you reach Taroudant after an epic descent of the pass.
