Prepare for a long day, but one filled with the most dramatic scenery in Morocco. We head south, climbing the winding roads of the High Atlas to the Tizi n'Tichka pass. The views change at every turn—from pine forests to bare red rock to sub-Saharan oasis. Our destination is Ait Benhaddou, a striking fortified village (Ksar) made of earthen clay that has stood for centuries on the old caravan route. It is so perfectly preserved that it has become Hollywood's favorite backdrop. You've seen it in *Gladiator*, *The Mummy*, *Lawrence of Arabia*, and as Yunkai in *Game of Thrones*. We cross the river stepping stones to explore its narrow streets, climbing to the granary at the top for a view over the valley. We continue to Ouarzazate to see the Taourirt Kasbah and the cinema museum before the scenic drive home.
