Aït Benhaddou is an ighrem (fortified village), along the former caravan route between the former region of Sudan and Marrakesh 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 or merchant’s houses and other individual dwellings, and is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture. Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou also serve as the perfect movie set for famous movies such as: Prince of Persia, A Man who would be king, Gladiator, Son Of God, Kundun and many more.
Telouet is a Kasbah along the former road of the caravans from the former region of Sudan over the High Atlas Mountains to the present day Marrakesh. It lies at an elevation of 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) and was the seat of the former warlord of El Glaoui Family. The Kasbah might appear ruined from the outside but it is still lavishly decorated from the inside.
