The space
Built in the early 16th century, this historic kasbah sits in the heart of the Draa Valley and once served as the administrative and residential stronghold of the Mezguita tribal leaders. Its ancient earthen walls, carved details, and dramatic setting have made it a filming location for Prince of Persia, Un Thé au Sahara, and Killing Jesus.

Today, the kasbah remains one of the valley’s most authentic and atmospheric architectural treasures.

This kasbah is unique for its rare blend of Moorish, Roman, and Berber architecture, preserved over centuries. Walls, ceilings, and decorative elements are finished with natural mineral pigments, giving the space a soft, earthy, and timeless character. Staying here is an immersion inside a living 500-year-old fortress.

Guest access
By booking on Airbnb, you are reserving one private room within the kasbah.

Guests have full access to shared spaces, including interior patios, rooftop terraces overlooking the oasis and mountains, traditional salons, and indoor and outdoor dining areas.

During your stay
Our on-site team is available to help with anything you may need — arranging meals, organizing activities, guiding you through the kasbah, or helping plan desert excursions. We are happy to assist before and during your stay.
