Kasbah Amridil, located in Morocco's Skoura oasis, is a well-preserved 17th-century fortress that showcases the region's distinctive mudbrick architecture. Originally built as a fortified village, it was later expanded into a grand residence in the late 19th century by M'hamed Ben Brahim Nasiri with the support of Madani El Glaoui. Featured on the Moroccan 50 dirham note, the kasbah is a symbol of the country's architectural heritage. Its multi-level structure includes courtyards, storage areas, and an open-air patio that enhances natural light. Now partially a museum, it offers insights into traditional Moroccan life with displays of historical artifacts such as olive presses and bread ovens.

Very well preserved kasbah. We visited just the first one without garden, and took a guide to explain what we were looking at. The entrence fee 40 dirham per person, guide 75 dirham per group. Visit is short, maybe 20 min. There is toilet at entrance.The other kasbah

Kasbahs all begin to look the same after a while, but I think what makes this one stand out is the amount of the structure that is original and the beautiful surroundings of the old village and palm groves. You will end up getting a guide (whether you want one or not) but they are not overly intrusive and quite informative.

Second visit to this lovely Kasbah, and still just as enjoyable. It's a good idea to pay for one of the guides to show you around and explain everything about traditional life in the Kasbah - they are multilingual and very good. Make sure you go to the right hand entrance: this is the more 'authentic' side and has a higher terrace for views. The left side is more modern and much of the space is taken up by a cafe.

Nice place. Loved walking through the old castle. But watch out: there are multiple entrances with access to different parts, each costs separately. We missed half the castle because we didn't want to pay again..

Partially restored Kasbah. Interesting to see the construction techniques using rammed earth and poplar beams - they were much more concerned about termites eating the wood joists than erosion from rain. The Kasbah is in three sections - two are restored and owned by two brothers who are fighting about money, so entry covers one half but not the other - and an unrestored section. Pro tip: while you are here spend an hour walking through the gardens and neighborhoods surrounding the Kasbah. The residents are friendly and it is very peaceful.
