Aït Benhaddou is an ancient village in the Marrakech-Safi region of central Morocco, situated in the southern foothills of the High Atlas Mountains, close to the edge of the Sahara Desert. This thousand-year-old fortress, known for its laterite clay complexes, is a living fossil of traditional Berber habitation, with its patchwork of kasbahs (castles) and watchtowers, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An important stop on the ancient Saharan caravan route to Marrakech, Ait Melloul witnessed the prosperity of the Silk Road and remains a popular location for international blockbusters such as "Gladiator" and "Game of Thrones". Visitors can experience the traditional Berber way of life, hike through the neighboring canyon oasis, and experience the breathtaking scenery of the desert and mountains, making it a perfect meeting point between culture and nature in southern Morocco.
