Camels at AA¯t Benhaddou (AA¯t Ben Haddou, Morocco)

AA?t Benhaddou is a fortified city, or ksar, along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. It is situated in the Souss-Massa-DrA?a Region on a hill along the Ounila River and is known for its kasbahs, although they take damage with each rainstorm. Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village of AA?t Ben Haddou at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar
