Discovering Ait Ben Haddou and Atlas Studios - I recently embarked on a trip to Ait Ben Haddou and Atlas Studios, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The stunning scenery throughout the long journey (about 8 hours round trip) made the ride enjoyable. We stopped for breakfast at a spot with awe-inspiring views, which was a perfect start to the day.
Ait Ben Haddou exceeded my expectations—it’s a truly magical ancient city. Hiring a separate guide there was well worth the extra cost, providing insightful information that enhanced the visit. Although the restaurant offered breathtaking views of the city, the food itself was mediocre and not included in the trip.
We also attended an argan oil presentation, which was the fifth one I experienced that week. While it was informative, it felt a bit repetitive. However, it didn’t significantly detract from the overall experience.
The visit to Atlas Studios was another highlight. The entrance fee was expected, and the guide was funny and engaging. It was fascinating to see the famous movie filming locations up close and learn about their history.
The return journey was long but anticipated. Despite minor drawbacks like the repetitive presentations and average food, the overall trip was highly rewarding. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the unique beauty of Ait Ben Haddou and experience the behind-the-scenes magic of Atlas Studios.

Great day trip - Had a great day on our day trip to Ouarzazate with Ait brahim Said (guide) and Toumi Youssef (driver) today. Would definitely recommend the trip as it was a good mix activities and the driver and guide couldn't have done anything better.

Good to See - Good day, unfortunately we didn't have much time but was very nice to see.
I do not recommend the restaurant advised by the guide, its overprices and service was slow & chaotic.
Day would be improved with more time.

Do this tour if you've done everythig else in Marrakech - Pros:
- Seeing a movie studio - unique and not something you'll see on other tours
- Seeing a UNESCO-protected village - something straight out of animation!
Cons:
- Long trip, most time spent on the road
- Significantly more expensive than all other tours, as you'll need to tip the guides (X2), pay for an entrance to a a movie studio, pay for your own lunch
- Lunch spot choice is horrible
- All other tour guides offered snacks and water, not this one
- Guide forced (not asked!) us write a review

The old town was nice, but the bus ride was uncomfortable and tourist traps. - The old village of Benhaddou was nice but everything else about the trip seemed to be a tourist trap. Such as the restaurant they take you to which is the most expensive we've been to in Morocco. They also didn't provide water unlike the Agafay desert and Atlas Mountains tours we've been on. The bus ride was also one of the most uncomfortable I've been as it had hardly any leg room.
