Step back in time and explore the timeless charm of Megdaz, a hidden gem in the High Atlas Mountains. Join us on a journey through narrow earthen paths to visit some of the oldest kasbahs in Morocco, some of which are over 700 years old.
These fortified houses are built using a unique blend of stone, earth, and strong juniper wood (locally known as ar’ar), reflecting the ancestral Amazigh techniques of sustainable architecture that have endured for centuries.
Your local guide will walk you through:
- Traditional homes with unique architectural features
- The history of the kasbahs and their role in protecting communities
- Breathtaking panoramic views of the valley
- An opportunity to meet local families and learn about their daily lives
- Don’t forget your camera – this is a journey into Morocco’s living history.
