Kasbah Tigmi N'Oufella — Hotel in caïdat de Telouet

We arrived at the Kasbah from Marrakech, two days into our trip to Morocco. The village is very isolated, surrounded by mountains, where people live very simply. There is a beautiful oasis where everyone has their gardens, just a short walk from the Kasbah. We stayed two nights in July and it was too hot to walk, but I think that is what people usually do in that area in spring and summer.|We were still adjusting to the change in culture, and worrying about what the kids could do to keep occupied during the day.|But our host Lahoucine made the whole stay memorable. We arrived in the afternoon and he served us tea and some snacks for the kids as we hadn't eaten lunch. We rested, the kids watched movies and then we went for a walk in the evening. We were served a fantastic dinner that night, followed by a delicious breakfast in the morning. Out host took us to the weekly souk at Telouet, which was scary at first, but then no one really paid us any attention (very different from Marrakech) so we relaxed and bought some olives and nuts and just took in the sights. Lahoucine also took us to the Kasbah of Telouet. We were the only visitors and it was amazing. On the way back we stopped off at the salt mine. Another great dinner that night.|The rooms are tastefully decorated, the bathrooms simple, but no problem for us. There are fans in the rooms. The Kasbah is a work in progress for Lahoucine who is restoring it. Looking back on our two week stay in Morocco, Lahoucine was one of the most welcoming and genuine hosts we...

This place is an absolute gem. The Kasbah is a true labour of love. Built by Lahoucine’s father—who was a close friend of the French artist Jacques Majorelle, creator of Marrakech’s Majorelle Garden—it once welcomed Majorelle himself as a frequent guest.||The house is thoughtfully adorned with objects that quietly tell its story. The rooms are charming, the food is fantastic, and the views from the rooftop terrace are nothing short of breathtaking. It was the first place we stayed after leaving Marrakech, and it couldn’t have been a more magical beginning.||The village of Anguelz is extraordinarily beautiful—an oasis valley surrounded by Amazigh homes, glowing with life. Walking through it with Mohammed, a friend of Lahoucine's, we were able to witness the rhythm of daily life there. It was moving, intimate, and...

Anguelz, a remote berber village in the High Atlas in a beautiful valley surrounded by the mountains. Where even today most of the people still live a very simple and traditional life, donkeys for transport, small fields for growing their own food, a cow in the courtyard for fresh daily milk, hot summers and harsh winters, mud-built houses that give shelter and protection. Here, in this small berber village, Lahoucine has restored his grandfathers 100 year old Kasbah, and turned it into one of the most authentic guesthouses I have ever seen in Morocco. Definitely a place to stay for a few days, and discover an authentic part of Morocco, warmly hosted by Lahoucine...
