Aït Benhaddou

About 30 km northwest of Ouarzazade, Aït Benhaddou is a sun-dried brick village built on the slope of a hill by a stream. The Berber fortified village of Ksar remains in many places in Morocco, but it is known as one of the best-preserved Ksar. It is a beautiful complex of earth-toned buildings and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
