Kasbah des Caids in Tamnougalt, Morocco, is a well-preserved fortress that reflects centuries of history and architectural ingenuity. Built by the qaids who once governed the region, it features a maze of rooms, courtyards, and passageways that reveal both practical design and artistic craftsmanship. Attached to the kasbah is the ksar, a fortified village that once housed a diverse community, including Jewish families, and still retains traces of its vibrant past. The blend of Amazigh, Moorish, and Jewish influences is evident in the intricate details of the structure. Adding to its legacy, the kasbah has served as a filming location for productions like Babel, drawing visitors who recognize its cinematic significance.

Clean rooms, tasty food, kindness and the incredible architecture of this Kasbah (palace) made one of the best experiences of our trip in Marocco. We did also an guided tour through the Ksar (fortified village), the guide was really well prepered, explaining us history and urban structure of this place. Really recommend for a relaxing time outside the main touristic spots.

Traveling from Mhamid to Tagazout we decided to stop for 1 night at Kasbah des Caids. Being from Canada this was a bit of a stretch for us in terms of accommodation from what we are used to. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and the Kasbah has been redone so you are quite comfortable. AC was available in our room and we were very happy with that option. The breakfast was eggs, crepes, bread, tea and coffee. Definitely an experience for our family that is used to different types of hotels.

A magic place - both a musuem as well as a hotel - run by extremely friendly and welcoming people. A unique experience in Morocco and a must in case you are in the area: highly recommended. Moreover, the food is amazing too! Thank you - choukran P.S.: I almost forgot to mention: the Kasbah offers the best view in the area

Truly beautiful, welcoming, friendly, unique, a fabulous must do Moroccan experience. So much history. Hassan and all the staff are really helpful and informative. Highly recommend the tagine cooking class and you must join in the evenings drumming. So much fun. A highlight of our trip

A fascinating place to wander around, better with a guide who will show you the inside and introduce you to the men constantly renovating this amazing structure. They receive no grant (unlike Ait Ben Haddou) so depend on tourism to help them continue the renovations. Highly recommended.
