Built around the 11th century, this village is the best example of the beauty and strongest of the Moroccan architecture. In Fact, it was built by one of the richest families in the history of Morocco, El Glaoui family. Thami el Glaoui was the leader of this family and used to benefit from taxes that the camel caravans used to offer him. He set up many other kasbahs such as Telouet. However, Ait Benhaddou was found by Benhaddou and that is where the name came from.
