Day 1: Marrakech - Ait Benhaddou - Tinghir
Leave Marrakech and cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass. Visit UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, known for its earthen architecture and film locations. Continue through the Valley of the Roses to Tinghir for dinner and a night in a hotel or riad with a private room and bathroom.
