This corridor linked southern Morocco to Saharan trade routes; Ait Benhaddou is a UNESCO ksar that guarded caravan traffic and later drew film crews.
The Draa oasis is sensitive to water stress and overuse; choose camps that use local staff and follow waste-reduction practices, and avoid disturbing dune vegetation.
