UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 Ait-Ben-Haddou

Ait - Ben - Haddou began as a fortified city, or ksar, between the Sahara desert and the city of Marrakech. The city is protected by high walls, and inside it houses buildings of Berber architecture, typical of the constructions of the Moroccan valleys. As regards the materials used for the construction of the citadel, a mixture of straw, stones and mud was used. This Ksar has been the scene of many films, thanks to which it has gained even more notoriety.
