Visitors to Morocco, particularly those from China, are exploring the historic village of Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its cultural diversity.

Tourists appreciate local crafts, enjoy scenic views from the Ksar, and express interest in Moroccan culture after being inspired by films.

The unique landscapes, such as the Sahara Desert and ancient cities, attract more Chinese tourists, with numbers significantly increasing from fewer than 10,000 in 2016 to over 140,000 in 2019, following the lifting of visa requirements.

Trying local cuisine, including traditional dishes like tagine and Moroccan bread, is also a highlight for many visitors before they continue their journey.
