Perched on a hilltop and almost unchanged since the 11th
century, Ait Benhaddou is one of Morocco’s most iconic sites. Its grant
kasbah is one of the most beautiful in Morocco and the fortified village is a
fine example of clay architecture. If you think you recognize the place,
you probably do, as the town has a long list of film and TV credits, including
Lawrence of Arabia, Game of Thrones and Gladiator. Enjoy a walk through the
winding streets of old town, making your way to the top of the hill, from where
you can enjoy the views across the surrounding plains. Transfer to Marrakech,
and the rest of the day is free to explore further or shop in the bazaar.
Perhaps head into the medina, where every step brings a new smell, a new sight
or a new gift to buy. Watch skilled artisans perfect their craft, practice your
haggling skills or take a break from the hustle to sip on tea or share a
tajine, filled with the pure scent of Morocco. Tonight, you may join the
optional Dinner ShowFantasy of Andalusian Night. We’ll drive you to the “Sugar
Palace” - the place Dar Sukkar. In this popular night show, you will enjoy the
diner with Gnaoua music, Alaouite history, Harem belly dance and romantic
voices.
