About this tour
Marrakech to the Fint Oasis and back over two days. You get a private air-conditioned 4×4 or van and a driver-guide who speaks English. Day 1 climbs the High Atlas to the Tizi n'Tichka pass, calls at the Glaoui Kasbah in Telouet, then drops into the Ounila Valley and follows its back road as far as the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, walked with a local Berber guide, before Ouarzazate and a finish at the Fint Oasis, with an evening in the palm groves and a night at a traditional guesthouse. Day 2 opens with a morning walk through Fint's gardens, moves on to the Skoura palm oasis and its kasbahs, Kasbah Amridil among them, stops at the Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate and recrosses the High Atlas into Marrakech in the late afternoon. From 95 EUR per person, covering the private vehicle and its driver-guide, collection and return at your hotel, and the overnight with dinner and breakfast.

Marrakech - Tizi n'Tichka - Telouet - Ounila Valley - Aït Ben Haddou - Ouarzazate - Fint Oasis, guesthouse (5h drive) / Over the Atlas to Telouet, UNESCO Aït Ben Haddou and the Fint Oasis
You leave Marrakech at 08:00 and drive southeast through the High Atlas by way of the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, stopping at Berber villages along the climb. Telouet is the first proper stop, for the Glaoui Kasbah, Thami El Glaoui's palace, now crumbling, where the zellige tiles, the carved stucco and the painted ceilings of cedar are still there to see; access to the palace may be restricted since the 2023 earthquake, and your driver checks the position on the day. From Telouet the route drops into the Ounila Valley and follows the back road there, threading Berber hamlets built of red earth, terraces and fortified granaries, until the UNESCO-listed Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou comes into view; a local Berber guide, included in the price, shows you round the fortified village that film crews keep coming back to. Then it is on to Ouarzazate for lunch, which is not included, and you can add the Atlas Film Studios here, or the Taourirt Kasbah. A 15 km run south brings you to the Fint Oasis, a canyon of red and ochre rock filled with palms, Berber villages and irrigated terraces. You arrive late in the afternoon, walk out through the palm groves in the evening, check in at the traditional guesthouse and eat a Moroccan dinner on the terrace above the palms.
- Day 2 of 2
Fint Oasis - Skoura Oasis - Ouarzazate - Tizi n'Tichka - Marrakech (5h drive) / A Fint Morning, the Skoura Palm Oasis and the Atlas Road Home
The morning starts on foot, out among Fint's palms and along the valley floor, where people are already tending the irrigated gardens in the first light, and a traditional Moroccan breakfast at the guesthouse follows before you meet your driver. The road runs north to the Skoura Oasis, one of the largest palm oases in southern Morocco, with more than 700 kasbahs including Kasbah Amridil, then on to Ouarzazate for the Taourirt Kasbah and lunch in your own time, not included. The afternoon is the last crossing of the High Atlas at the Tizi n'Tichka pass, bringing you into Marrakech late in the afternoon, dropped at your hotel or riad.

Frequently asked questions
Can the stops and the running order be changed?
Yes. You can add the Atlas Film Studios, spend longer at Aït Ben Haddou, reshape the guided visit or ask for extra photo stops, because the tour is yours alone.
Does this work for families?
It does. Child seats are free on request, everything on the itinerary suits children and can be adjusted, and you set the pace.
What is the accommodation like at Fint Oasis?
What the price covers is described as the comfortable option, a tent to yourselves with bathrooms you share. The luxury option, 70 EUR more per person, is an ensuite tent of your own with a hot shower, quality linens and towels.
What are the departure and return times?
Departure is at approximately 07:30. You are back in Marrakech in the late afternoon of Day 2, usually between 17:00 and 18:00.
What is the Fint Oasis like?
A palm oasis set in a canyon of red rock, quiet and a long way from the crowds, but without the tall dunes of Merzouga. If dunes are the point of the trip, look at our three-day Merzouga tour.
Is a visit to the Atlas Film Studios possible?
Yes, on Day 2 in Ouarzazate. Your driver arranges the stop.
Could this be stretched to take in Merzouga?
Yes. Our three-day Merzouga tour goes on to the Erg Chebbi dunes for a fuller Sahara trip.
