Aït Benhaddou, a caravan borough of the upper Drâa (region of Ouarzazate), listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its earthen ksar, was home to Jewish artisans and merchants linked to the trans-Saharan routes connecting Marrakech to Timbuktu. The Jewish presence there is documented for the 17th–19th centuries.
