Marrakech to Aït Benhaddou, the comfortable way.
Plan on about 3 hours for the 180 km between Marrakech and Aït Benhaddou, following the N9 over the Tizi n'Tichka. Marrakech is Morocco's busiest tourist city — a walled medina of souks and riads around Jemaa el-Fnaa, with the modern Guéliz and Hivernage districts and the Palmeraie villas outside the walls.
Who makes the Marrakech to Aït Benhaddou trip
Why this trip? Marrakech is the country's main hub, so people leave it for almost everything — the coast after a few city days, the Atlas and the desert on a tour, or another imperial city. As for Aït Benhaddou, visitors come to walk up through the ksar to the granary at the top and to stay a night when the day-trip crowds leave.
The road from Marrakech to Aït Benhaddou
South-east of Marrakech the N9 climbs the High Atlas through Berber villages and walnut groves to the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then descends into the stony south to the Aït Benhaddou turn-off. Good places to break the drive: the Tizi n'Tichka pass and the argan and walnut terraces around Taddert.
Arriving in Aït Benhaddou
Aït Benhaddou is the UNESCO-listed fortified ksar of earthen kasbahs above the Ounila river, the most filmed village in Morocco (Gladiator, Game of Thrones). Cars stop on the new-village side; the ksar is reached across the river on foot via the bridge.
Before you go
A final practical note on Aït Benhaddou: sunrise and late afternoon are the times to see the ksar; summer middays are harsh. And when you are ready to move on, Telouet's kasbah, on the old caravan road, is 40 minutes north. The return leg, Aït Benhaddou to Marrakech, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Marrakech to Aït Benhaddou is a private transfer: about 3 h door to door for a fixed €101 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.

| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€15 per person | 4 h 30 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
