Traveling the route of the thousand Kasbahs
The route of the thousand Kasbahs is currently
one of the main attractions of Morocco. It's integrated, indeed, by more than a thousand of these monuments. However, most travelers
roaming the area only get to see half a dozen of them, the most famous, those that are in all the brochures.
The purpose of this website is to inform visitors wishing to delve into the
subject of traditional earthen architecture the immense possibilities offered by southern Morocco.
Its author, Roger Mimó, is convinced that the promotion of the
sustainable tourism in presaharic valleys is the best way to safeguard the Ksour and
Kasbahs, which are now endangered because of neglect by the inhabitants of origin.
Our proposal includes a basic route by asphalt and some possible variants or excursions. We take Marrakech as starting point because it's the main airport in the region,
but you can also fly to Ouarzazate or you can travel overland from Europe.
We divided the course in 8 steps, which not necessarily should occupy an entire day each one:
1. From Marrakech to Ouarzazate and Skoura
2. From Skoura to the Dadès valley
3. From Dadès to the Todra valley
4. From Todra to Tinejdad
5. From Tinejdad to Erfoud and Rissani
6. From Rissani to Mhamid
7. From Mhamid to Agdz
8. From Agdz to Marrakech by Tasla and Taznakht

DON'T PUSH CHILDREN TO BEGGING.
When a tourist gives a dirham, a gum or a pen to a child, he can not imagine
the damage he does him:
This child will get used to ask money to foreign people. To him, you won't be more than a walking wallet. Wishing to get more and more gifts, probably he will leave the school and
he won't have other future than to become a hunting-tourists.
