Ait Benhaddou Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Ait Benhaddou in Morocco.
Along the southern border of the High Atlas in the heart of Morocco is the impressive village of Ait Benhaddou. The settlement was once situated along one of the country's most important caravan routes but the region's ancient trading routes are no longer used today. A walled village, the Ksar, was founded in the 12th century by the people of Ait Aissa and its narrow lanes lead up to several fortress-like citadels, the five main Kasbahs of Ait Benhaddou.For visitors the narrow, medieval lanes of the village are tantamount to a confusing maze however the plain but nevertheless expressive architecture of the houses has a unique and magical atmosphere.Fortunately, the cultural and historical value of this unique Moroccan clay village has now been fully recognised otherwise each of the houses, towers and kasbahs of Ait Benhaddou may have long since disappeared beneath the sands of time.

Ksar of Aït Benhaddou - Morocco Travel Guide - Travel & Discover
Ksar of Aït Benhaddou is an fortified village along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. Most citizens attracted by the tourist trade live in more modern dwellings in a village on the other side of the river, although there are four families still living in the ancient village. Inside the walls of the ksar are half a dozen (Kasbahs) or merchants houses and other individual dwellings, and is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture. Aït Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.

Ait Benhaddou - Where Hollywood Films are made (and still being made) - Morocco Episode 07
Ait Benhaddou is again a beautiful UNESCO heritage sight of Morocco for a good reason. It is totally unique, and when I first saw it on pictures I thought “I wanna go there one time”. One more thing for my bucketlist I am able to cross out. Time had come to wander around in this amazing fortified village. It is no surprise that Hollywood has already filmed many movies here like Gladiator (2000), Alexander (2004), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Babel (2006), One Night with the King (2006), Prince of Persia (2010), Son of God (film) (2014) and Games of Thrones. Also for this reason you find in Ouarzazate big filmstudios like the Atlas Corporation Studios. Hope you enjoy my little video and get a good impression of this place.

Ait Ben Haddou- آيت بن حدو
Ait Ben Haddou, a Moroccan village known for its unique earthen clay architecture. Most of the families left Ait Ben Haddou sacrificing their homes and streets for tourists.
Tourist attacked in Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco by TOUR GUIDE 2016
On a recent trip to Morocco I made an excursion to Ait Ben Haddou & Ouzazarte booked via my hotel (Riad Abaka in Marrakech) alongside a fellow guest staying there.
When we arrived in Ait Ben Haddou the driver said to use a local 'guide' for a surcharge and meet back after two hours.
We decided we'd rather explore on our own and meet back at the exit point in the time instead as they usually just take you to shops to buy things to make a commission instead of exploring the sight.
We politely declined the guide and said we'll head to the exit point ourself while he shows the rest of the people who want his services so don't want to hold anyone up.
He then shouted saying we are making everyone late so again explained we are ok without a guided service- he then told the fellow passenger to either come with him or sit in the car- to which he declined as we paid for this excursion.
Then he said we must pay a sight entrance- which he said we are happy to do on entering the city at the ticket office..
It was then the 'guide' then assaulted the Russian tourist by violently pushing him and proceeded to pick up a log to attack him with further- it was only when other tourists who heard the entire incident asked what the hell he was doing that he dropped the log and walked off.
Having travelled to over 20 countries this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this and it's not an isolated incidence if you Google the sight.
Luckily as soon as he pushed the tourist I pressed record on my GoPro to capture the rest in full HD.
Morocco is a beautiful country but tourists must be made aware of things such as this for safety as it is completely unprovoked and unacceptable- when reported back to our Riad on arrival they weren't too fussed/ shocked until there was mention of this video which further shows this is not a rare occurrence.
As for the 'tour' - none of the other passengers were shown the top of the fort which is maximum a 10 minute walk nor interacted with any locals- just taken to shops and had their time wasted
- luckily we managed to do all of the above on our own!

Morocco, Maroc, Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou
Aït-ben-Haddou (en tifinagh : Ath Benhadu, en arabe : آيت بن حدّو) est un ksar du Maroc inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, dans la province de Ouarzazate.
Aït-ben-Haddou est situé dans la vallée de l'Ounila, au sud de Télouet, fief du Glaoui, vallée qui était un point de passage traditionnel des caravanes reliant Marrakech au sud du Sahara1.
C'est un exemple frappant de l'architecture du sud marocain traditionnel, sur le flanc d'une colline au sommet de laquelle se trouvait un grenier collectif. Le village se présente comme un ensemble de bâtiments de terre entourés de murailles, le ksar, qui est un type d'habitat traditionnel présaharien. Les maisons se regroupent à l'intérieur de ses murs défensifs renforcés par des tours d'angle.
Tout autour de ce douar un ensemble de villages se regroupe. Tous ont été attirés par une rivière qui traverse une vallée. Les habitants de ces douars sont pour la plupart des berbères anciennement nomades qui ont ensuite choisi la sédentarité pour des raisons diverses.
Le ksar d'Aït-ben-Haddou est inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1987. Surnommé « le Mont-saint-Michel des chleuhs2 » pendant le protectorat français, plusieurs films y ont été tournés parmi lesquels :
Lawrence d'Arabie (1962)
Sodome et Gomorrhe (1962)
L'Homme qui voulut être roi (1975)
Bandits, bandits (1981)
Le Diamant du Nil (1985)
Tuer n'est pas jouer (1987)
La Dernière Tentation du Christ (1988)
Un thé au Sahara (1990)
Kundun (1997)

Aït Benhaddou (Berber: Ath Benhadu, Arabic: آيت بن حدّو) is a fortified city, or ksar, along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. It is situated in Souss-Massa-Drâa on a hill along the Ounila River and is known for its kasbahs, although they take damage with each rainstorm. Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar.
Aït Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987[1] and several films have been shot there, including;
Sodom And Gomorrah (1963)
The Man Who Would Be King (film) (1975)

Ait Benhaddou | MOROCCO
During our 3 weeks backpacking trip around Morocco, Ouarzazate nicknamed THE DOOR OF THE DESERT was one place we stayed at.
Ouarzazate attracts numerous Hollywood projects due to its beautiful location and big studios.
Day trips to the fortified village of Ait BenHaddou, a UNESCO World heritage site is reccomended.
Probably the most recognisable Game of Thrones set in Morocco.
We had met 2 other travellers from Portugal in Fez and we decided to travel together however long our journey took us together.
From Ourazazate, we took a return grand taxi (250dh for 4 people) to Ait BenHaddou. Make sure to haggle and don’t settle on the first price. There was an agreement with the driver that he would return back to collect us .
Journey takes 40mins
It was a nice experience. And you don’t get hassled as much in these areas compared to Marrakesh.
And if you have time, do visit the Kasbah Taourirt located in the centre of Ouarzazate. Ticket cost
20dh.

Ait Ben Haddou Morocco
Visit at the Unesco World Heritage Ait Ben Haddou in Morocco.
Experience Morocco: Aït Benhaddou
The Ksar of Aït Benhaddou is a well-known landmark in Morocco, and if you haven’t heard of this ighrem, you would have seen it at some point. Aït Benhaddou’s iconic towers feature in movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator and Jewel of the Nile.
Morocco is filled with many incredible sights, but Aït Benhaddou is easily one of its star attractions, and not just because it happens to be a famous Hollywood haunt! This fortified village is UNESCO World Heritage Site and an exemplary example of 17-century architecture in Morocco.
During its heyday, the ksar was part of an old caravan route between Marrakech and the Sahara. Back then it was a hub for traders passing through with their goods, but even today it draws visitors from far and wide, only this time the travellers are tourists that want to transport themselves to the past for an afternoon or so. In its way, Aït Benhaddou is still a vital part of Ounilla Valley.
While it may seem frozen in time, on closer inspection you’ll find the passageways of this walled city are alive with arts and crafts, traditional culture native to this part of the country and a handful of families still live within its walls. Artisans, traders and locals will welcome you warmly to Aït Benhaddou.
Don’t take our word for it, experience a taste of southern Morocco’s heritage and glorious past by discovering Aït Benhaddou. If you’re a film lover, you might even recognise some of the facades featured in this video. There are so many reasons to visit this fascinating North African country, and the ancient village of Aït Benhaddou is an excellent reason indeed.
