These well done panoramas are beautiful and enticing to me but I really missed a story line so I had take a ride on the googleator. Quote Wikipedia;

Aït Benhaddou (Berber: Ath Benhadu) is a 'fortified city', or ksar, along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech in present-day Morocco. It is situated in Souss-Massa-Draâ on a hill along the Ounila River and has some beautiful examples of kasbahs, which unfortunately sustain damage during each rainstorm. Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the other side of the river; however, ten families still live within the ksar.

Also of note; "Several films have been shot  there" including; Lawrence of Arabia, Time Bandits and the ever popular The Mummy........

A wonderful shot. Thanks for sharing.  You have rounded out my cultural enrichment for the morning, time to go pull weeds...
