Ait Ben Haddou and Dades Gorge!

One of the popular things for tourists to do in Morocco is to experience the Sahara. Excursions to do just that can be purchased from Marrakesh and Fez. For just 1 night's stay in the desert, it is a 3 day trip so set aside some time.
My twin, Joe, and I were picked up in Marrakesh for the long journey. On the first day of our trip, the main stop we made was to the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a traditional earthen village that is hundreds of years old. It was one of the filming sites for many movies and series including Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Lawrence of Arabia, and Prince of Persia. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I've never really seen anything like it. The architecture and views were incredible. It is a true honor to experience something so unique and beautiful first-hand.
We ended the day by viewing Dades Gorge and staying in a hotel in the gorge.

Stay tuned for Day 2 of our Sahara adventure where we get to ride camels into the desert and stay overnight in a Bedouin encampment.
