Kasbah des Caids

The most impressive kasbah we have see. Its big and has also a old village around it. When we were there in October we were almost alone. Very autentic place and we had a nice guide that still lives in this old village. We actually found this place more impressive and autentic than Ait Benhaddou.

Very good hotel. You'll have an amazing experience if you choose this place. It is far from the mass of tourists and no big city is close . The nights are so dark you can see many more stars then usual.

We texted Hassan in advance for a guide during our visit. Our Guide Abdou greet us on the main street and took us to the Kasbah. Out guide was really knowledgeable he explained so many things about the Kasbah, the surroundings and also the history about it. Really friendly, nice and polite guy. He even took us around the garden with bike as we also came with the bikes and ride along until we part away. We really had a nice time and enjoy the tour.

Confusing place made worse by the pushy guides hanging around the entrance. We wanted to see the unrestaured part which we did eventually, and paid 20 Dhs each making it clear we didn't want to pay for guiding - one guy still kept following and talking to us, somewhat spoiling the experience.

Un lieu historique sublime qui est aussi un Airbnb de rêve. A ne pas manquer pour vivre dans les 1001 nuits et également plongée dans l'histoire et la vie d'une kasbah qui reprend vie au gré des restaurations. Un vrai coup de cœur pour cet endroit qui reste en mémoire. L'hospitalité marocaine est aussi toujours a l'œuvre et on s'y régale aussi.

Visite de la kasbah avec Cherif qui parle bien français et est très intéressant. Ça ne vaut pas le coup de se passer d'un guide, le prix est très raisonnable et ça fait marcher l'économie locale.

Nous y avons séjourné une nuit. L'hôte n'est pas le plus sympathique, mais ça va. Le confort est spartiate attention vous allez dormir par terre sur une simple matelas. Les installations de douche et autre sont sommaires. Enfin les escaliers exigent d'être en très bonne forme
