Privat trip - We had an amazing day, the pickup was in front of the hotel and we had a private tour to the destination with several stops to makennice pictures. At Kasbah, we got ourselves a private local tour leader who gave us detailed info about the location. Recommend this tour, definitely worth it!

Traditional Berber and Moroccan designs - Kasbah Ait BenHaddou is a small village (ksar) famous for its architectural use of traditional Berber and Moroccan designs, with buildings made of adobe (mud/straw) to withstand harsh weather. The kasbah is named after founder Ben Haddou, who established a tribe in 757 and whose tomb is believed to be located beneath the town. The present ksar dates from the 17th century when Ait BenHaddou became an important stop on the caravan route between Marrakesh and the Sahara. In modern times, the ksar has provided a setting for movies and films, including Lawrence of Arabia, Jewel of the Nile, Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Declared a UNESCO site in 1987, Ait BenHaddou is considered the best preserved kasbah complex in Morocco, and only original material, including wood, adobe, straw and earth, are used in preservation. A handful of families currently reside in the small ksar. Located at the edge of the desert and the foot of a cliff, Ait BenHaddou also provides spectacular views in addition to its architecture and interesting history.
