Travel back in time with a visit to Aït Benhaddou, one of Morocco’s most iconic ksars and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located between Marrakech and the Sahara, this fortified village is famous for its striking earthen architecture and has served as the backdrop for numerous films and TV shows like Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and The Mummy.
Wander through narrow clay alleys, climb to the top of the hill for panoramic views of the surrounding desert, and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a place that feels frozen in time. Aït Benhaddou is not just a destination — it’s a living piece of Moroccan history.
