Aït Benhaddou – The Desert Fortress
Step back in time at Aït Benhaddou, an ancient ksar (fortified village) that rises from the desert like a mirage. This UNESCO-listed site is one of Morocco’s most iconic landmarks, often used as a filming location for movies like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. With its earthen clay buildings and dramatic location along the old caravan route, Aït Benhaddou offers a glimpse into Morocco’s Saharan past. It’s a must-visit for history lovers and photography enthusiasts alike.
