Message from Vinifer & Nayela

Aït Benhaddou is a cool historic village in Morocco that's all about those old-school earthen clay buildings. It's like a fortified village from back in the day when caravans used to roll through on their way to Marrakesh. The place has been around since the 11th century, but most of the buildings are newer, like from the 17th century.
Nowadays, there are just a few families living there. But hey, it's still got that charm and even made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage list in '87.

Loads of movies have been filmed there, so you might recognize it from flicks like "Gladiator" or "Game of Thrones."
