The experience

The Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou is the setting that Hollywood production companies and other international studios have chosen repeatedly for filming.

Along the way, you have the chance to stop at a typical Berber house, where you'll be offered coffee or tea. This break gives you a look at how people in the area live and a moment to rest before or after walking the kasbah itself.
