Where Should I go: Ait Ben Haddou or Livorno?

Ait Ben Haddou

Think of a time when you've seen Jerusalem in a movie. Chances are what you're really looking at is the traditional, mud brick city of Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco. This city on the edge of the High Atlas Mountains has been an UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, and has also been seen in movies like Lawrence of Arabia, Orson Welles' Sodom and Gomorrah, Jesus of Nazareth, the French version of Cleopatra, Bertolucci's Sheltering Sky, Scorsese's Kundun, Gillies MacKannon's Hideous Kinky, Ridley Scott's Gladiator, Oliver Stone's Alexander the Great, and in some scenes from Game of Thrones.

Livorno

Livorno is a relatively large port city on the Tyrrhenian Sea on the western coast of Italy. It has a population of just over 160,000 and is well connected by ferry. Because of the many ferry connections, Livorno makes a convenient starting point for a tour of Tuscany. Pisa is accessible within half an hour and both Lucca and Florence can be reached in a little over an hour. Several of the hotels in town organize comprehensive and efficient tours of the area that might include Chianti, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Siena and Volterra all in one day. If you're arriving on a cruise ship and hoping to make it back before departure time, then these tours are not recommended.
