Here we will stop to admire the spectacular views, before we descend to Ait Ben Haddou, one of the geological wonders of this planet, which has lasted for millenniums. It looks as if it were a separate universe. We will visit a great fortress that has served as the setting for famous films like "Lawrence of Arabia", "Gladiator" and "The Jewel of the Nile."
