Aït Benhaddou is an ighrem, along the former caravan route between
the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. Most citizens
attracted by the tourist trade live in more modern dwellings in a
village on the other side of the river, although there are four families
still living in the ancient village. Inside the walls of the ksar are
half a dozen or merchants houses and other individual dwellings, and is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture.
Aït Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
