Discover more than the route.
The region’s ksour and kasbahs reflect southern earthen-building traditions and routes between valleys and the Sahara. Nearby Aït Ben Haddou is a fortified settlement with a UNESCO listing. More recent film production has added another layer to the area’s cultural identity.
