Architecturally,
the living quarters form a compact grouping, closed and suspended.
The
community areas of the ksar include a mosque, a public square, grain threshing
areas outside the ramparts,.
It also features a fortification and a loft at the top of the
village, an caravanserai, two cemeteries (Muslim and Jewish) and the Sanctuary
of the Saint Sidi Ali or Amer.
The Ksar of Ait- Ben-Haddou is a perfect
synthesis of earthen architecture of the pre-Saharan regions of Morocco.
