Arrive in Aït Benhaddou after a 3-hour drive and visit its impressive complex kasbah, or castle, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The well-preserved architecture of Aït Benhaddou has been featured in numerous films, including Jesus of Nazareth, Star Wars, and Babel.

Afterward, spend the afternoon exploring the Atlas Film Studios or the Film Museum (own expense). You will return to Marrakech as the sun sets and arrive at your hotel or riad at 7pm.
