Morocco: medina, Atlas, desert
A riad, a kasbah, and a night under the stars.
riad · Morocco
Atlas kasbah
Cool air, mountain walking, and a terrace for the evening.
A restored kasbah in the High Atlas with a pool, mountain views, and walking from the door.
An hour from Marrakech and a world away. Walk to Berber villages with a guide and mule, swim in the afternoon, eat on the roof.

- Walks to Berber villages and mule rides from the door, an hour from Marrakech.
- A cool, green pause between the medina and the desert.
Good to know
Before you decide
- Best in spring and autumn; winter is clear and cold at night, summer hot by day.
- Rooms are traditional in style; some have fires rather than central heating.
- Two or three nights is right before the drive or flight south.
