The old trade route from Marrakesh to Timbuktu ran here. The settlers of Ben Haddou controlled the area and the route here.

Even today, the two districts on the left and right of the river are still inhabited by Berbers from the Ben Haddou tribe.

The old district on the orographically left bank of the river consists largely of Tighremts, the typical nested, multi-story residential castles of the Berbers.
