Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou
An amazing example of the architecture of southern Morocco. An extraordinary set of buildings that offer a complete overview of construction techniques in pre-Saharan lands. The oldest buildings do not appear to be older than the seventeenth century, although their structure and technique extended very early in the valleys of southern Morocco. The site was also one of the many trading posts on the trade route from ancient Sudan to Marrakech through the Dra Valley and the Tizi-n’Telouet Pass.

Nestled in a landscape of mountains and the Sahara desert, the Kasbah Taourirt is one of the most beautiful kasbah in Morocco. In the past, it was a strategic place controlled by the Glaoui for the route of the Saharan caravans in West Africa. Although Taourirt was the main residence of the Glaoui, it did not house the chief chiefs there. Instead, it housed the second level of command, namely the children, servants, cousins, builders and craftsmen of the dynasty.
