Ait-Ben-Haddou is a spectacular fortified village located in the south of Morocco. Set at the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, near the border to Algeria, this remarkable site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has been used as the backdrop for a number of famous films including those from blockbuster franchises like "Game of Thrones", "Gladiator" and "Prince of Persia". With its classic Moorish architectural style, visitors to Ait-Ben-Haddou can expect to see fascinating structures made up of adobe clay and other materials, along with old defensive walls dating back to the 11th century. The intact granary situated on the hilltop provides magnificent views of the surrounding area. Don't miss the chance to explore this charming village and take away timeless memories.
