After breakfast and shower, you ride the camels back to meet the car at the end of the paved road. After we leave Zagora behind we head straight back to the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou, where you will have lunch, before exploring the site.
The Kasbah was declared by UNESCO a world heritage site. The village is known as a backdrop for many cinematographic works. For instance, “The Gladiator”, “Lawrence of Arabia” and even some scenes in “Game of Thrones” were shot in this village.
Ksar Ait Benhaddou was a pausing station for the caravans traveling along the Ounila valley, the merchants either exchanged goods here and went back to the desert, or paused to rest and then continued to Marrakech, they used to trade salt, silver, and slaves.
