    From the outside, the multi-towered complex of buildings makes a rather miserable impression, which, however, turns into a kind of astonishment in the rooms of the representational wing: Here, the walls and ceilings are adorned with tiles, stucco and paintings. An oriental splendor.

    The most beautiful Kasbah in Morocco. Vacant since 1958.

    "The Lords of the Altas" – the El Glaoui family built the kasbah in 1860 on the lucrative trade route from the Sahara to Marrakesh. Thami El Glaoui became Pasha of Marrakesh and by the 1950s, he was the fourth richest man in the world. Legend has it that 1,000 slaves were needed for its construction, and 300 craftsmen worked on it for three years. Furthermore, El Glaoui had three wives and 98 concubines (see photos), and he doesn't smile in a single photo.
