Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou
Aït Ben Haddou is a small town in Morocco. The history of Aït Ben Haddou dates back to the supremacy of the Aït Aissa clan.

This region then became a strategic place and an obligatory passage for caravans taking the passes of Tizi Telouet and Tizi Tichka. The clan of Aït Aissa then kept an influence on the ksar. In 1956, the population preferred to settle on the right bank of the wadi Melah, thus deserting the abandoned ksar. Fortunately thanks to tourism and cinema Aït ben Haddou resurrected.
