The Kasbah of Ait-Benhaddou, a World Heritage Site and the setting for so many films, stands majestically in a valley at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. The tourist visit must follow the marked itinerary, respecting the private dwellings that still remain. But whether out of disorientation or curiosity, tourists sometimes end up invading the privacy of these homes. However, far from being annoyed by this, their owners invite them to have tea in their bare, ochre stone walls. Here, a Berber woman serves freshly brewed tea to those who have once again broken into her dwelling and are caught in the image reflected in the glow of the teapot. The light of the Sahara desert entering through an ancient wooden door, in acronyms with the plastic jerry can, helps us to focus on the unparalleled hospitality of the people of this North African land.
