Our first Visit today is Errisani town; where the Mausoleum of the founder of the Alaouite Dynasty of
Morocco, Moulay Ali Chrif in the 17th century. This silent town was the ancient capital of Tafilalet
and its location as a crossroads between north and south brought the city to an important status of a
former major caravan centre. Up to now Rissani remains a major commercial centre in the region, 127
km from Errisani the great canyons of Morocco Todgha Gorges are situated beyond the central high
Atlas Mountains. Here, the contrasting landscapes remind visitors of the Colorado, with its high
plateau, its gorges and great canyons, and its peaks sometimes splintered by erosion. Several peaks in
this area exceed 4000 m, with Jbel Saghro 2500 m and Jbel Mgoun at 4068 m being the highest peak
in this part of the High Atlas. The area is populated by Berbers. Here you can enjoy a hike or a walk

Mountains. It is mainly inhabited by Berbers, who constructed many of the prominent kasbahs and
building for which the area is known. One of those building is Taourirt Kasbah diverted in 17th
century (stop for pictures from outside the Kasbah ) .
Why this town is nicknamed as Hollywood of Africa? Simply because it has been noted as a film-
making location, with Morocco’s biggest studios inviting many international film companies to shoot
their movies like: Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Living Daylights (1987), The Last Temptation of
Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Martin Scorsese’s
Kundun (1997) and Babel (2005) ,after Ouarzazate City we will drive about 30 km to reach the
fortified city of Aït Benhaddou, built in the 11th century. Once up on a time this Kasbah was the
former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakesh. It is situated on a hill along the Ounila River
and has some beautiful examples of Kasbahs, which unfortunately sustain damage during each
rainstorm and windstorms. Most of the town’s inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the
other side of the river; however, around five families are still living within this Kasbah.
Aït Benhaddou Kasbah has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and several films have
been shot there, including Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Time Bandits (1981), The Jewel of the Nile
(1985), Kundun (1997), Gladiator (2000) and Alexander (2004). From this beautiful fortified house we
