Kasbah El Hajja Bed & Breakfast - Aït Benhaddou

Eco-friendly guest house inside UNESCO World Heritage site Ksar Aït-Ben-Haddou

Location & Setting

Kasbah El Hajja sits 300 ft from Ksar Aït-Ben-Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The guest house is one of only two inhabited dwellings inside the old village, offering direct access to the historic fort. Guests can relax on furnished terraces where the hosts serve mint tea and Moroccan pastries while taking in mountain or river views.

Eco-Friendly Operations

The property relies solely on solar energy for lighting, with no mains electricity inside the Ksar. This solar-powered system supports all hotel amenities while keeping the historic setting intact. Guests should bring USB cables for charging, as outlets are only available in common areas.

Accommodations

Each room at El Hajja is decorated in traditional Berber style with private bathrooms and showers. Rooms offer views of the mountains or the river, and some include private terraces. The kasbah is pet-friendly, welcoming animal lovers to stay inside the historic walls.

Dining & Breakfast

A traditional Moroccan breakfast is served daily in the dining room or on the terrace. The on-site restaurant offers Moroccan dishes such as chicken tagine with apples, preserved lemon, zucchini, and olives. Special diet menus and kids' meals are available upon request, and the kitchen can prepare packed lunches for excursions.

Activities & Services

The host organizes excursions to local attractions and can arrange guided tours of the Ksar and nearby filming locations. Guests can borrow bicycles, join cooking classes, or hike on local trails. Other services include airport shuttles, car hire, luggage storage, and express check-in/check-out.
