Ait Ben Haddou

Air Ben Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and kasbah of Ben Haddou, the most famous ksar in the Ounila valley. It is located in the foothills of the southern slopes of the High Atlas Mountains. Of all of the remaining kasbahs in Morocco, the walls and interior of this area are the most intact. The kasbah still houses a few families but most now live in an adjacent village. This eastern built fortress has been used in many film and television productions like Gladiator, Babel and Game of Thrones, and was once one of the many trading posts on the route linking Sudan to Marrakech.Read more
