Private Day Tour from Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou and Telouet

Aït-ben-Haddou is a ksar (Ighrem, in Berber) of Morocco inscribed on the list of the world heritage of UNESCO, in the province of Ouarzazate. It is part of the municipality of Aït Zineb. This is a striking example of traditional southern Moroccan architecture, on the side of a hill at the top of which was a collective attic (an agadir)

The Kasbah Telouet, sometimes also called Glaoui Palace, is a kasbah built in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Located in the small Berber village of Telouet, in the rural town of Telouet, in the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco, its most famous occupant is probably Thami El Glaou. The current kasbah was built in 1860 by the Glaoua, next to an old kasbah whose remains are still visible today. It was subsequently greatly enlarged during the first half of the twentieth century by Thami El Glaoui. Legend has it that 300 workers worked for three years decorating ceilings and walls. These are made either of finely chiselled stucco, sometimes of zelliges for the walls, and cedar painted for the ceiling1. The roofs are made of ceramic tiles painted green. The result is a set of huge buildings, whose interior decoration shows an important wealth.
