Discover Aït Ben Haddou

UNESCO Heritage

Aït Ben Haddou is a fortified village of earth and straw on the old caravan road between the Sahara and Marrakech, listed by UNESCO. You cross the river and climb through the lanes to the granary at the top.

It has been the set of many films and series. Most of our tours stop here on the way to the desert, and some sleep at the foot of the ksar.
