What our travelers think about 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

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.
