Ait Ben Haddou Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Sahara, Part 2

We arrived in Ait Ben Haddou around noon and stopped for a tour of the town and lunch. Our tour guide mainly led us around and pointed out obvious things like doors and windows, but it was useful to be told where to go at the very least. Ait Ben Haddou is a UNESCO World Heritage site, so it is fairly well preserved and very deserving of the title. …

Action Man!

We set out in the morning driving across the relatively small country of Morocco. The drive itself was not particularly interesting... Lots of incredibly flat, straight roads with deserty plane until the horizon. We stopped at a spice shop along the way and a rather cheeky african guy gave us a demonstration of the desired effects of certain herbs …

Lights, camera, Action!

Did you know that it takes HOURS to cook couscous the proper Moroccan way? I can't even fathom it. At home, couscous takes 5 minutes. A little longer if you have to boil the water first, but really, ten minutes from putting the kettle on to finished product, max.

We learned about the absolute production that Moroccan couscous is today at a …

We decided to go for something that suits our personalities, my husbant and I were unhappy to live in a big city like Casablanca ( traffic, pollution, noise....) I could go on and …

Depois de dar uma olhada nas montanhas a gente seguia a rota do Kashbar. Kashbar eh uma antiga cidade-fortaleza berbere, contridas antes ou durante a …

Amiziz

3 hours away from Marrakech, in a lovely Berber village in The Atlas Mountains. I became very attached to this place. had a wonderful time wandering through the mountains, through the fields of wild flowers, past the waterfalls and the donkies taking a picnic of fresh fish. The villagers were all extremely friendly and welcoming. I drank lots of …

Dades Gorge

The next day we left, and headed to Dades gorge, it was bascially exactly the same as Todra gorge, so we only spent a night there... We then headed off to Ait Benahdou. This is where the Gladiator was filmed. It is a Unesco World heritage site. there is tons of money going into this site to restore the old military fortress that is built into the …
