Ait Ben Haddou Morocco

Aït Benhaddou is an ighrem (a fortified village in English) (ksar in Arabic), along the old caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakeck in what is now Morocco. Most locals, drawn by the tourism industry, live in more modern homes in a village on the other side of the river, although there are still four families residing in the ancient village. Inside the walls of the ksar are about half a dozen (Kasbahs) or merchants' houses and other individual homes, and it's a fantastic example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture.
