Ait-Ben-Haddou is an ighrem (fortified village in English) along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco.

Inside the walls of the ksar are half a dozen kasbahs, or merchants' houses. Ksar Aït Benhaddou is a great example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
