Aït Benhaddou (آيت بن حدّو) is a fortified city, or ksar, along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. It is situated in the Souss-Massa-Drâa Region on a hill along the Ounila River and is known for its kasbahs, although they take damage with each rainstorm. Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village of Aït Ben Haddou at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar.
The old village of Aït Benhaddou has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 and several films have been shot there.
