What our travellers think of their stay
This legendary kasbah, made from adobe, is an architectural masterpiece, as well as being perfectly preserved, which explains its designation as a World Heritage Site.
My suggestion
Try to arrive at the end of the day, a few hours before sunset. The sunlight quietly disappearing behind the palm trees leaves an orange light on the kasbah, which is priceless, it's magnificent!
An incredible kasbah preserved from the 11th century, Ait Benhaddou resembles a mirage with its homes made of earth.
My suggestion
There isn't an entry fee to Ait Benhaddou despite what the majority of locals will tell you. However, it remains a way for the last inhabitants of the place to make a few dirhams.
