Ait Ben Haddou i Uarzazat: kompletny przewodnik

Ait Ben Haddou is the clay kasbah on the road from Marrakech to the desert — a UNESCO site, a film set, and day one of every desert tour. This guide explains the kasbah, Ouarzazate and how to visit them.

Ait Ben Haddou: the kasbah

Ait Ben Haddou is a fortified village of clay houses, built on a hill above the river. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a filming location for films and series. The walk up to the top is the best part — the view over the valley.

Ouarzazate: the gate of the desert

Ouarzazate is the town on the road to the desert, about 4 hours from Marrakech. It is the base for the film studios and the start of the road south to the Draa Valley and the desert.

How to visit: day trip or desert tour?

Ait Ben Haddou works as a day trip from Marrakech — about 4 hours each way. But it is best as day one of a desert tour: the kasbah is on the road to Merzouga, so the tour stops there on the way.

The tours that pass Ait Ben Haddou

Every desert tour from Marrakech passes Ait Ben Haddou on day one: the 3-day tour, the 4-day tour, and the 2-day Atlas and kasbahs tour. The 3-day tour from Casablanca reaches it from the north.

What to see on the way

The Tizi n'Tichka pass (2,260 m) on the way up, the kasbah itself, and the Dades Valley after it. The road from Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou is one of the best drives in Morocco.
