Rated 5.0/5 on Tripadvisor

The ksar of Ait Ben Haddou is a striking group of earthen houses and kasbahs climbing a hill above the Ounila river, on the old caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and has appeared in many films.

Cross the river, wander the lanes and climb to the old granary at the top for views over the valley.
