Ksar of Ait Benhaddou
This UNESCO world heritage site is a breath-taking example of Southern Morocco’s architecture. The entire village of Ksar of Ait Benhaddou was built with rammed earth. It is one of Morocco’s top tourist attractions. Ksar of Ait Benhaddou is one of Ouarzazate’s ancient walled cities.
Rammed earth buildings use soil compressed into wooden boxes which are placed horizontally in layers and made compact with pneumatic tools. The natural colors of the earth pour through the walls.
