Many associate the southern of Morocco to the desert and the beginning of the Sahara though this region has many more breathtaking landscapes to offer, ranging from the high Atlas Mountains, palm trees, old kasbahs and valleys. Here is one the most recommended places to visit in Southeast Morocco. Kssar as an authentic Amazigh architecture "Kssar” also known as “fortified village” is a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls and reinforced by corner towers. Built in the 12th century, the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou is located 30 km northwest of the city of Ouarzazate. Its traditional buildings are a set of private and public properties with narrow roads full of art galleries and shops that sell traditional items and Berber accessories. Inside the Kssar, there is a mosque, a public square, an inn, an attic and other items related to grains harvest and storage. Commercial exchanges stimulated the region’s prosperity, as the Kssar was a mandatory stop for camel caravans that linked the southeast to other larger Moroccan cities such as Marrakech, Fez or Meknes. UNESCO recognized the ksar as a cultural world site in 1987 for its impressive history. Ait-Ben-Haddou is a striking example of the traditional pre-Saharan habitat
