Aït Benhaddou is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the southern part of Morocco, approximately 30 km from the town of Ouarzazate. This ancient fortified village, or "ksar," is famous for its striking adobe architecture and its location along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. The ksar consists of a series of earthen buildings surrounded by defensive walls, with narrow, winding streets that lead up to a high hilltop offering stunning views of the surrounding desert landscape. Aït Benhaddou has served as a backdrop for numerous films and TV shows, including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy, due to its dramatic and picturesque setting. Dating back to the 17th century, Aït Benhaddou is a prime example of traditional Moroccan earthen architecture. The village's distinctive red clay buildings, designed to blend into the surrounding landscape, have been meticulously preserved over time. Visitors to Aït Benhaddou can explore the ruins of ancient kasbahs, climb the hill for panoramic views, and visit the nearby river to see how life once flowed in this desert oasis. While the village has seen a decline in permanent inhabitants, it remains an important cultural and historical site, attracting tourists from around the world who are eager to experience its beauty and learn about its rich history.
