Fodor's Expert Review La Kasbah d'Ouzoud

Within this traditional kasbah, you can choose from spacious rooms or bungalows dotted around a pool and beautiful gardens. The kasbah was built using baked earth bricks (and some cement) for the thick walls, resulting in a flawless and peaceful retreat that's cool in the summer and cozy in the winter. Rooms are adorned with local carpets and ornaments, and the walls are spread with tadlak (a smooth, waterproof building material popular in Morocco). The garden is decked with bright flowers and trailing plants. The plentiful food is very good, and the vibe is relaxed.
