Ait Benhaddou Kasbah historic movie set visit

Ait Benhaddou is a fortified settlement of mud-brick houses and towers rising on a hillside. You walk its narrow lanes and look out over the valley from a high point. It is a historic stop that shows the region's traditional earthen architecture and a skyline known from many films.

The climb is stony and partly steep. Carry a hat and water for sun and wind. Take care not to lean on the mud-brick walls. Morning and late-afternoon light warms the earth tones.
