Welcome to Aït Benhaddou, a truly magical place where you can step back in time. As you wander through the maze of reddish mud-brick walls, you're walking through a fortified village, or ksar, that has stood for centuries. The climb to the top is worth every step; from the fortress, you'll get a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding desert landscape. It's a bit of a walk from the main parking area, across a bridge and up the hill, but the experience of exploring this ancient wonder is something you won't forget.
