   Aït Benhaddou is an ighrem along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco.Most citizens attracted by the tourist trade live in more modern dwellings in a village on the other side of the river, although there are four families still living in the ancient village.

   Ouarzazate is at an elevation of 1,160 metres (3,810 ft) in the middle of a bare plateau south of the High Atlas Mountains.To the south of the town is the desert.
   
   The town is chiefly inhabited by Berber-speakers, who constructed many of the prominent kasbahs (locally known as: iɣeṛman) and buildings for which the area is known.Ouarzazate is an important holiday destination in Morocco, as a base for excursions across the Draa Valley and into the desert.The fortified village (ksar) of Aït Benhaddou west of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
   
   The Ouarzazate area is a noted film-making location, with Morocco's biggest studios inviting many international companies to work here.Films such as Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Man Who Would Be King (1975), The Living Daylights (1987), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), The Mummy (1999), Gladiator (2000), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), Kundun (1997), Legionnaire (1998), Hanna (2011), The Hills Have Eyes (2006), and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011) were shot here, as was part of the TV series Game of Thrones.
