Visita al Ksar de Aït Ben Haddou

A big thank you to Abdel Aziz, the guide of this magnificent visit! He teaches us a lot of things and takes exceptional photos for us. A charming gentleman! We will not forget you ❤️

Our guide Mohammed was great, very informative and gave us time to look round the shops around the Ksar. The Ksar was fantastic, lots of history and welcoming shop keepers, with no pressure to buy. The shop we were taken to for tea was lovely and the lady who served the tea was so friendly and gave us history of the tea, honey and natural cosmetics, again no pressure to buy.

It can be done without a guide, the Ksar can be seen walking through the inner streets crowded with craftsmen

Knowing this space is important to realize its mysticism. The reason for its existence is noble. A zone of trade where the north and the south (mountain and desert) come together at a strategic point. So this space that we can call a warehouse played a fundamental role. Built at a time when trade was creating cities. You have mysticism and your visit is important. I think it should be better preserved, and it was interesting to see a renovation to rebuild because it is very destroyed. Pu alternatively create a model to show your previous look. The climb to it allows you to feel the charisma. I recommend visiting the Berber workshop where you can see how the paintings and illustrations are created on paper. They create colors with their own technique.

We were supposed to meet at the meeting point at 11am. The meeting point was given to us with the ticket. We followed the directions from the navigation system (link was provided). No one showed up at the agreed time. About an hour later, the tour guide called me and told me that he was waiting for us at a restaurant (unknown to us). The meeting point indicated on the ticket (including the directions) was not a restaurant! Around 11:15am, we continued on our own without the tour guide. Very disappointing.

Nice tour of the old city of Ait Ben Haddou. The guide explained us many things about the Kasbah and the cinematographyc background. Thanks

Great experience, worth the visit. And Mohammed is a great guide too. I enjoyed the walk, the views, learning a bit more about the history of the place. My only regret is not bringing cash for shopping. I didn’t realize people still live there. Which makes it even more amazing.

We went on a guided tour of the village with Mohammed who was a great guide. As a local of the town, we got insight on life in the village, culture, and history. Afterwards, we had tea with Mohammed where he responded to all of our questions and told us more about life in ait ben haddou. Really great tour and really beautiful place to visit. I highly recommend!

The highlight of our trip even though we didn't even know it existed. We made the wise choice to hire a local guide which made all the difference. I would suggest you do the same.

A fantastic experience, the magical place and the guide, as well as the prior contact with Nuria, luxury. Infinite patience with the different rhythms of the group of friends -6 people-, flexible hours and totally at our disposal
