Kasbah El Hajja Bed & Breakfast - Ait Benhaddou

Traditional Berber guest house inside the UNESCO-listed Ksar of Ait Benhaddou, entirely powered by solar energy

Inside a Living UNESCO Site

Kasbah El Hajja sits directly inside the old village of Aït-Ben-Haddou, 100 meters from the Ksar Ait-Ben-Haddou UNESCO World Heritage site. The guest house is one of only two inhabited dwellings within the ancient ksar, offering guests a chance to experience the site after day-trippers leave.

Solar-Powered Accommodations

The property relies solely on solar energy for lighting, with no mains electricity inside the ksar. Each room features traditional Berber-style decor and a private bathroom with a shower. Rooms offer mountain or river views, and some have furnished terraces.

Moroccan Breakfasts and Dinner on the Terrace

A traditional Moroccan breakfast is served daily in the dining room or on the terrace, including mint tea and pastries. Dinner featuring Moroccan dishes such as chicken tagine with preserved lemon is available upon prior reservation. The hotel accommodates special diet menus and kids' meals.

Guided Excursions and Outdoor Activities

Kasbah El Hajja organizes trips and excursions in the area, including hiking, cycling, and bike tours. Guests can join cooking classes, walking tours, or a tour about local culture. The staff provides advice on watching sunrise from the nearby hill and sunset from the top of the ksar.
