By midday, we reach the Kasbah-town of Ait Ben Haddou which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We dedicate sufficient time to visiting the Kasbah, where several movies and series have been shot, like Gladiator, Babel, Kingdom of Heaven, Game of Thrones and Lawrence of Arabia.
After lunch in Ait Ben Haddou drive to Ouarzazate, where we will have a stop for the picture of the Kasbah of Taourirt before continue along the road of a thousand Kasbah and the palm trees of Skoura.
