1-Day Quad Tour - Kasbah Telouet
On this full day guided quad/ATV excursion, we will visit a magnificent kasbah which belongs to the last royal family's of the Atlas Region in Morocco. We will drive along the beautiful Ounila Valley with many traditional Berber villages. This tour is perfect for those who wants some excitement but also interested in the history and architecture of the Atlas region. Lunch in included.
This tour is recommended only between October and March since part of the roads from Ait Ben Haddou to Telouet is not off-road (tarmac). It will be very hot (>40c) in the summer for both the driver and the quads.
We depart from Ait Ben Haddou around 9am. On the way to Glaoui Kasbah, we will drive along the beautiful Ounila Valley with many traditional Berber villages and enjoy panorama views.
After a few hours, we will arrive at the Kasbah of Glaoui in Telouet, one of the most extraordinary sights of the Atlas. After lunch, you can visit the inside of this complex at your leisure.
Lies at an elevation of 1,800 m, the Kasbah of Glaoui is a glimpse of the style of Moroccan political government and power still within living memory. Pasha Glaoui was ousted from the Bahia Palace and died of cancer shortly after exile in Telouet after independence. As a palace of El Glaoui family, 300 artisans worked on salons faceted with stucco, zellij and painted cedar ceilings during construction. Although some rooms have fallen into ruin after over a half-century of decay, the 2nd-floor reception rooms still remain its glory as Telouet’s former position as the center of a trans-Saharan trading empire.
