Ait Ben Haddou
UNESCO ksar, caravan architecture, and the postcard of southern Morocco.
Ait Ben Haddou is a fortified village of earth towers that once guarded the caravan route between Sudanese gold and Marrakech. It is also a film set, which you will be told. Walk up anyway. The granary view is the point.
Go early or late. Midday is for the buses we are not on.
