It was born as a fortified city, or ksar, along the caravan route between the Sahara desert and the current city of Marrakech.
It is located on a hillside along the river Ouarzazate.
The Ksar is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The modern country has developed out of the Ksar, and now only a few people live in the ancient town.
