"The village itself" Ait Ben Haddou Off The Beaten Path Tip by mafi_moya

While I found that the experience of the Kasbah was slightly lessened by too many tourists and salesmen, the briefest of walks the other way was the complete opposite. The village itself was empty of foreigners, touts, or even people! Apart from a few kids kicking a football about it was very quiet and peaceful. The budding football stars were very pleased to see a foreigner and we had a good kick about for a while before an unseen voice sent them rushing indoors - when it comes to boys rolling about in the dirt mothers sound the same all over the world!

There are apparently a few hotels in the village but there's nothing to see other than the kasbah and the surrounding scenery so only consider staying here if you have lots and lots of time on your hands.
