Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Oasis Fint, Ouarzazate 30120 Morocco
This 60km round trip tour takes you on an off-the-beaten path from Ait Ben Haddou to a quiet and beautiful desert oasis, Fint, in a tranquil valley surrounded by magnificent rock formations. (If you are not short in time, this one-day tour is more relaxed and enjoyable than the half-day Fint tour.)
When you arrive at our office, our guide will give you a brief explanation of the controls of our quad/ATV. We will then depart from Ait Ben Haddou on a desert track used by ancient nomad caravans towards Ouarzazate. We will pass through several local Berber villages on the way before entering a vast expanse of mountainous landscape of the Anti-Atlas.
It is absolutely surreal to be surrounded by the magnificent rock formation in this area with bumpy dirt road on your quad unique in this tour! An large, abandoned but relatively well-maintained Hollywood film set greets us once we leave the mountainous region. Imagine you are an extra in the ‘Prince of Persia’ movie!
After a few hours, we finally arrive at Fint oasis. We will take have lunch at a local guest house restaurant (included). Watch children play and women wash clothes in the stream. (Please be sensitive when taking photo of locals, especially women.)
After a nice lunch, we start our return trip through a different track passing another old film set near Ouarzazate. If time allows, we will stop and have a coffee break.
On our way towards Ait Ben Haddou during sunset, the silhouette of the undulating hills in the far horizon form a perfect picture and will forever stay in your memory.
After this long trip, applause yourself and enjoy tea in our office and reflect on this unforgettable adventure.
