Ait Ben Haddou is a fairy tale made of clay. The settlement, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, consists of nested residential towers with elaborate decorations.

Photography Tips

Be sure to plan a stay in the direction of sunset. Especially because then the day tourists are gone and you can take pictures in peace. The archway gives the picture a nice frame in my view. But because of the big differences in brightness, I had to take an HDR shot with a tripod.
