Visit Aït Benhaddou in Ouarzazat at Least Once! 📸
Aït Benhaddou is like an ancient amber hidden at the edge of the desert—a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the filming location for Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and The Mummy. Every step feels like traveling back a thousand years into the Arabian past. This ksar (fortified mud-brick village) sits on a hillside, its sunbaked clay houses stacked in golden hues under the sunlight. ⚠️ Pro Tip: When I visited, the wind was crazy strong—my hat literally saved me! Be prepared to eat some sand if it's windy. Also, during Easter, there were so many Chinese tourists that locals started using Mandarin to market their souvenirs! 🍜 Must-Try Chinese Food! 📍 "Chongqing Flavors" On the way to Aït Benhaddou, you’ll spot a sign saying "The wind of missing you has blown to Aït Benhaddou." The owners are super kind, and portions are huge! Must-try dishes: Spicy Chicken & Hand-Torn Cabbage—so good you’ll dream about them after your trip! #OffTheBeatenPath #MoroccoTravel #AïtBenhaddou #TravelPhotography #HiddenGems 🏜️📸✨🌍
