Home of the Famous Kasbah

by barryg23 - last update: Apr 15, 2007

In the Valley of a Thousand Kasbah’s, there in one in particular which stands out above all others - the Kasbah in Ait BenHaddou. The Kasbah has featured in countless movies and a whole new village has grown up around here to cater to the many daily visitors who come to see this beautiful structure. It’s an atmospheric place and the Kasbah looks beautiful particularly at sunrise or sunset.

 Your opening photo looks like a giant sand castle until you spot the people :-) Not you've made me want to go to Morocco more than ever!

 I'm enjoying exploring Morocco with you :) Not only are your tips very interesting but your photos are so atmospheric. But "Dusk over the Hill" is so good it shouldn't be hidden away as a 2nd photo!!

 We almost went to the same places (just one month apart), and thanks for your comments on my Merzouga page, a pity that the hotel was fully booked!
