2. First stop of the day is the pittoresque Kasbah Amridil, one of Morocco’s grandest kasbahs from the 17th-century which formally appeared on the 50-Dirham note. You will enjoy a guided visit and learn about traditional kasbah life over the centuries, see hand-carved door locks, an olive oil press, still-functioning bread ovens and stalls where animals were once kept. The kasbah has been split into two, the part on the right has retained a more authentic feel and has the higher terrace with a breathtaking view over the valley, the palm trees and until the snowcapped High Atlas Mountains.

   45 minAdmission included

About Ouarzazate

Ouarzazate is a kasbah town in southern Morocco at the foot of the High Atlas, known as a gateway to the desert and a centre of film-making.

Ouarzazate lies on a high, dry plain south of the High Atlas, where the road over the Tizi n'Tichka pass from Marrakech meets the valleys that lead on to the Draa and the Dades. The Taourirt Kasbah, a sprawling mud-brick fortress of the Glaoui family, stands beside the old town, with painted ceilings and narrow rooms. The wide avenues of the newer town are quiet, and the Atlas Mountains make a snow-capped backdrop in winter.
