Ait Ben Haddou is a complex of traditional buildings located in the province of Ouarzazate, constructed of clay and surrounded by a defensive wall fortified with towers, characterized by simplicity and durability in the description. This palace, with its distinctive architecture, is typical of the traditional Moroccan south. Ait Ben Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The urban planning of the palace is characterized by its response to the environmental and social conditions of the region, taking into account three basic factors: topography, the movement of the sun and wind, and social life. All buildings are characterized by natural lighting and good solarization of their four facades, due to their orientation towards: Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest.
Roads and buildings are well ventilated due to their orientation according to the wind path. Explore Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou and know the history of Morocco. You’ll also explore the beauty of the ancient Moroccan architecture. The colorful history and design of the structure will expose you to the more traditional side of Morocco. It is a lot different from the Marrakech which is more modern.
To add to the excitement, this Kasbah is also famous as a filming site for different TV shows and movies like Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and Lawrence of Arabia. We will be having our delicious lunch in a restaurant in Ouarzazate that is by the Taourirte Kasbah. This location was also used during the production of the movie Star Wars. After enjoying the day in all those beautiful locations, we will go back on the road and travel back to Marrakech. We might arrive to Marrakech at 7 o’clock in the evening. Upon arrival in the Crimson City, you can relax and enjoy your stay while remembering the adventures during the day.
