Последние семьи переехали из Айт-Бен-Хадду на другой берег реки, в новое поселение, в конце 90-х годов. В начале XXI века ксар подвергся реставрации. В будущем его планируют преобразовать в туристический объект.







---------------------------
The Moroccan strengthened city (ксар) was founded by Ayt-Ben-Haddu in the eleventh century for protection of the caravan track passing from Marrakech to Timbuktu. Varzazat located on the left river bank the small settlement fell into decay together with a zatikhaniye in the middle of the XX century of transsaharan trade.
The last families moved from Ayt-Ben-Haddu to other river bank, to the new settlement, in the late nineties. At the beginning of the XXI century ксар underwent restoration. In the future it is planned to be transformed to tourist object.
Ayt-Ben-Haddu – a striking example of pise-walled architecture of the southern Morocco. Low red-brown buildings, adjacent to a mountain slope, with flat roofs develop in freakish terraces. Horizontally going Ayt-Ben-Haddu Street connect among themselves narrow passes and arches. On perimeter the city is surrounded with the defensive walls strengthened by angular towers.
It is possible to get in ксар through four entrances: two free and two paid. Money takes the families living here one of which suited the small ethnographic museum in the dwelling for an entrance to Ayt-Ben-Haddu.
Moroccan ксар looks not so picturesquely, as outside from within. Restoration works on its streets are conducted very slowly. However, it didn't prevent Ayt-Ben-Haddu will become famous for the whole world, having lit in such movies as "Lawrence Araviysky", "Jesus from Nazareth" and "The last temptation of Christ". It is possible to reach to a ksar by a taxi and the bus (from Casablanca, Agadir and Marrakech) and by train (from Casablanca). Planning a trip, it is necessary to consider that local trains often are late.
