Taourirt Kasbah
The earthen kasbah at the heart of Ouarzazate’s historic quarter. Explore its architecture and the surrounding streets before continuing across to the Cinema Museum.
The place & its story
Taourirt anchors the historic side of Ouarzazate. Read the building through its towers, decorated walls and the streets around it: earthen architecture belongs to a neighbourhood as well as a monument. Start with the exterior and ask which interior areas can currently be visited.
What to look for
Look for changes in wall texture, tower proportions and decorative details. With a local guide, discuss how earthen buildings are maintained. Leave room for a neighbourhood walk without entering private homes.
