History
Aït Ben Haddou dates to pre‑modern caravan routes and was fortified to control trade; its earthen construction is typical of southern Moroccan pre‑Saharan settlements.
Conservation
Visitors should stick to paths, avoid touching fragile mud-brick surfaces and support local guides—water use and foot traffic are primary impacts in oasis and ksar sites.

Start early to beat the heat

Carry at least 1.5–2 L of water and a few energy snacks—shops are limited between stops.
