What you can expect

Hidden in the desert plains near Errachidia lies one of Morocco’s most fascinating secrets: La Cité d’Orion, the Celestial Staircase, and the Spiral d’Or — monumental works of art created by German architect Hannsjörg Voth.

Built in the middle of nowhere, these breathtaking constructions draw inspiration from the kasbahs of Southern Morocco, while embodying deep philosophical and astronomical symbolism. The result is an open-air masterpiece that connects heaven and earth, art and science, tradition and vision.

During your visit, wander among the striking structures, climb the Celestial Staircase that seems to ascend into the sky, and feel the harmony of the Spiral d’Or under the desert sun. Your guide will share insights into Voth’s creative journey and the astronomical studies behind these designs.

Located near the small village of Fezna Ouled Jellal in the Errachidia region, this visit offers an unforgettable cultural and artistic discovery — far from the usual tourist path, yet deeply connected to Morocco’s spirit.
