After the experience we will head back to our accommodation in order to freshen up and check out.

We will head then head towards our next destination Aït Benhaddou by passing through the Atlas mountains and the Ounila Valley, making a stop by the beautiful and incredible Kasbah of Telouet. Many stops will be made along the road to enjoy mountains and canyons.
