Taourirt Kasbah

Closed due to restorations. The Ksar next to the Kasbah is still worth wandering around.

The Palace with decorations was closed and nobody told us when we paid for the ticket! Only a part of the Kasbah was open

Partially restored casbah where you can see how the kalifs lived.

No explanation unless you pay for a guide (quite harassing at entry point). Some room are really dirty (some even with poop on the floor). Nothing exceptional.

Ouarzazate is an amazing destination for people who love cinema, desert landscapes, and traditional Moroccan architecture. The city is known as the gateway to the Sahara and is famous for Atlas Studios and the beautiful Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou nearby. The mountains, palm groves, and quiet atmosphere make this place unforgettable. A great city for photography, history, and discovering southern Morocco.

An exceptional historical site that offers a fascinating glimpse into Morocco's rich heritage and traditional architecture. Walking through the narrow corridors and beautifully preserved rooms of the kasbah feels like stepping back in time. The earthen walls, intricate decorations, and impressive towers showcase the remarkable craftsmanship that has made southern Morocco famous. The kasbah's strategic location in Ouarzazate and its historical importance as the residence of the powerful Glaoui family make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. From the upper levels, visitors can enjoy wonderful views of the surrounding city and the landscapes that have attracted filmmakers from around the world. The atmosphere is authentic and peaceful, allowing plenty of time to appreciate the architecture and imagine life in this magnificent fortress during its glory days. Informative displays and local guides help bring the history of the site to life and add depth to the experience. A beautiful symbol of Moroccan culture and history, this kasbah is one of the highlights of Ouarzazate and an unforgettable stop for anyone exploring the region. Highly recommended for visitors seeking history, architecture, and authentic Moroccan charm.

Great old city! Tons of history both old and new.
