Kashab Taourirt is one of the must seen places in Ouarzazate, i have never seen it before in my visits to Ouarzazate until i've met some visitors from Tasmania then got there we have really enjoyed the historical sites inside it and discovered the Old Ouarzazate and the history of the Glaoui families.

There are much better kasbah to visit than this one. Like Telouet, Ait Ben Haddou, Tamnougalt which are much more authentic and beautiful. More
