Aït Benhaddou

Daenerys found her army here in the city of Yunkai

Aït Benhaddou is an ancient fortified city located in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. It has been used as a filming location for many movies and television series, including Game of Thrones. In the show, Aït Benhaddou was used to film scenes from the city of Yunkai, located in the Essos region.

The most exciting scene that was filmed at Aït Benhaddou was the scene where Daenerys Targaryen arrives in Astapor to purchase her army of Unsullied. This scene was filmed in the Kasbah of Aït Benhaddou, which is an impressive mud-brick fortress that was built in the 11th century. The city’s unique architecture and dramatic setting were perfect for the scene, which featured hundreds of extras, a large fleet of elephants, and a dramatic sunset. This scene was pivotal in Daenerys’ story arc, and it was exciting to watch her take control of her destiny and begin her journey toward becoming the Queen of Westeros.
