Aït Benhaddou at Sunrise

The ksar of Aït Benhaddou from the hill above the river at sunrise — the moment when the low light catches the pisé towers and turns them from brown to gold. Every film crew that has ever worked here has shot this angle. The light does something here that justifies every Gladiator and Game of Thrones comparison. It is also visible every morning for free.
