Constructed entirely from earthen bricks, its ancient walls 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 architectural treasures. This kasbah is a fully earthen structure, built using traditional earth bricks and techniques passed down over centuries. It reflects a rare blend of Moorish, Roman, and Berber architecture. 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.
