Ait-Ben-Haddou - City Tour
Ait ben Haddou is more than just a film set, though; it is a
ksar, a fortified village whose history goes back almost a thousand years, although the maze of narrow and crenulated towers you see these days are mainly from the 17th century. As a strategic stop for caravans of camels, often numbering hundreds, on the trans-Saharan trade route from the Sudan to Marrakech carrying gold, silver and slaves and returning with salt, it would have been a thriving town, home to thousands. As well a private homes – everything from small palaces to modest one-room dwellings – there were communal areas including a public square, a mosque, a caravanserai to house those travelling with the caravans, grain threshing areas outside the ramparts, a fortified granary (
agadir) at the top of the village, the last redoubt in time of invasion, and two cemeteries, Muslim and Jewish..
With me you will see and feel more.....:)
