Ait Benhaddou 2





We stayed in Ait Benhaddou for the night. 2 rooms, 3 people, dinner bed and breakfast, 500Dhs (that's £40 to you Brits). Can't be bad really.
Ait Benhaddou first came to fame when David Lean used it as a set for Lawrence of Arabia. I clearly recognise the valley from the film but can't remember where the Kasbah was used. I'll have to watch it again; it's on TV Christmas Day afternoon, just the thing after pud.
