A fortified village surrounded by the anti atlas mountains. It looks like an old castle, and this is where it got the name of "Kasbah" or "Castle" meaning Fortress in Berber local language.

Pleasant and relaxing excursion. The driver of the caravan is a boy (. 24 years) simple, humble and shrewd. Unpretentiously, he carries out his duties with passion. Even a small tip (this was not the case) is greeted with a dazzling smile.
From Marrakech the road is long, but what a beautiful spectacle, grandiose decor. Lunch leaves something to be desired, where we are forced to have a restaurant (factory) to share with the group members. Little free time, for single visits or shopping.
We liked everything. The guide was a polyglot and spoke French, English, and even Italian perfectly. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time for the cinema Museum, so we will probably have to go back again.
Hello Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed the trip with us. Unfortunately we only have 20 to 30min in Ouarzazate ( this is the case for all the agencies with the group tour) and we suggest to enter either the cinema museum or Kasbah Taourirt because the majority of traveler claimed about the entrance fees for other monuments and sites which are collected by the government and it is from 2€ to 7€ depending on the monuments..and therefore some choose to enter and others don't, which had create some issues especially time management.. Thank you for your understanding and we are definetly looking forward to seeing you in the near future maybe for a private trip which you can customize and then enter all the monuments. Best regards, Cutomer service
