Road Trip to KASBAH AIT BEN HADDOU from Marrakech, Morocco
We're on a Sahara desert tour Morocco from Marrakech, Morocco and this is day 1. It starts with a road trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate. We stop at Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou in Ouarzazate to tour the kashbah and also enjoy some delicious Moroccan food. After we visit Studio Cinema Atlas also in Ouarzazate before heading to our hotel in the Dades valley for the night.
Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou aka Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is located in Ounila Valley on the southern hills of High Atlas Mountain and a great example of southern Moroccan architecture. This is in the Ouarzazate province. Lots of famous movies have been filmed here such as Gladiator, The Mummy, Indiana Jones, Game of Thrones and more. It's a great example of what like in the 17th century.
Studio Cinema Atlas aka Studio Cinema Ouarzazate - Measured by acreage this is the world's largest film studio and you can tour it. Lots of relics from old movie sets are here and it was first developed in 1983 by Mohamed Belghmi. Some movies and films created here include Lawrence of Arabia, The Jewel of the Nile, Game of Thrones, Babel and more.
To get to the Sahara desert from Marrakech we need to cut through the Atlas Mountains, it was an experience and a fun one at that.

Aït-ben-Haddou (en tifinagh : Ath Benhadu, en arabe : آيت بن حدّو) est un ksar du Maroc inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, dans la province de Ouarzazate.
Aït-ben-Haddou est situé dans la vallée de l'Ounila, au sud de Télouet, fief du Glaoui, vallée qui était un point de passage traditionnel des caravanes reliant Marrakech au sud du Sahara1.
C'est un exemple frappant de l'architecture du sud marocain traditionnel, sur le flanc d'une colline au sommet de laquelle se trouvait un grenier collectif. Le village se présente comme un ensemble de bâtiments de terre entourés de murailles, le ksar, qui est un type d'habitat traditionnel présaharien. Les maisons se regroupent à l'intérieur de ses murs défensifs renforcés par des tours d'angle.
Tout autour de ce douar un ensemble de villages se regroupe. Tous ont été attirés par une rivière qui traverse une vallée. Les habitants de ces douars sont pour la plupart des berbères anciennement nomades qui ont ensuite choisi la sédentarité pour des raisons diverses.
Le ksar d'Aït-ben-Haddou est inscrit sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO depuis 1987. Surnommé « le Mont-saint-Michel des chleuhs2 » pendant le protectorat français, plusieurs films y ont été tournés parmi lesquels :
Lawrence d'Arabie (1962)
Sodome et Gomorrhe (1962)
L'Homme qui voulut être roi (1975)
Bandits, bandits (1981)
Le Diamant du Nil (1985)
Tuer n'est pas jouer (1987)
La Dernière Tentation du Christ (1988)
Un thé au Sahara (1990)
Kundun (1997)
La Momie (1999)
Gladiator (2000)
Alexandre (2004)
Babel (2006)

Aït Benhaddou (Berber: Ath Benhadu, Arabic: آيت بن حدّو) is a fortified city, or ksar, along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. It is situated in Souss-Massa-Drâa on a hill along the Ounila River and is known for its kasbahs, although they take damage with each rainstorm. Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar.
Aït Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987[1] and several films have been shot there, including;
Sodom And Gomorrah (1963)
The Man Who Would Be King (film) (1975)
The Message (film) (1976)

Aït Benhaddou (Berber: ⴰⵢⵜ ⵃⴰⴷⴷⵓ ; Arabic: آيت بن حدّو) is an ighrem (fortified village in English) (ksar in Arabic), 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 (Kasbahs) or merchants houses and other individual dwellings, and is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture.

Morocco Road Trip: This Wasn't What We Expected | Marrakech to Ait Ben Haddou Travel Vlog
A 10 hour road trip in Morocco from Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou. IT WAS WILD. The road was blocked from construction work, diggers were throwing rocks down, the roads were unclear and snakes were casually chillin' on the side. We also stopped by Ounila Valley, took a walk around Ksar Ait Benhaddou and tried to ask an unwelcome guest to leave our hotel room...

It was difficult to film since my camera gear wasn't ideal for the starlight and dim light in the desert. It was also constantly 40C+ and was hard to focus on filming at all times. I was just in awe trying to absorb my surroundings. If you head over to the blog though, there are many more beautiful photos of what to expect on this 2 day 1 night trip.

The ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. Ait-Ben-Haddou, in Ouarzazate province, is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco.
