What is Aït Benhaddou?
[[File:IMG 33 alkasaba.jpg|thumb|Fortified city of Aït Benhaddou]] '''Aït Benhaddou''' is a [[Fortification|fortified]] [[city]] along the [[caravan]] route between the [[Sahara]] and [[Marrakech]], in [[Morocco]]. Today, very few people live in the city. Most have moved to more modern cities. It has been an ideal place for movies to be filmed due to its scenery and lack of people.<ref>[http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/444 UNESCO World Heritage Sites Ref 444]</ref> Many famous movies were shot there, including ''[[Marco Polo (movie)|Marco Polo]]'', ''[[The Mummy]]'', and ''[[Prince of Persia]]''. ==References== {{reflist}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ait Benhaddou}} [[Category:Cities in Morocco]] {{geo-stub}}
