Reviews from Real Guests:

ROUAG MOUSSA: I happened to visit the kasbah on the wonderful, sunny 1st of January and the place was bustling with activity. I have no idea if it was in any way related to the New Year, but occasionally it was difficult to push through the crowd around street vendors. On the other hand, there were still many narrow passages where I was practically on my own. Yes, many houses are in poor repair and it's a pity little effort (and probably money) is put into restoring it. But just the same, the Casbah is beautiful and enchanting. A must in this beautiful ciy.
