Kasbah Maktob Tamnougalt

Mustafa is an amazing man. The location was tremendous. If u wanna experience how life is there without comprising too much on comfort the go here please. Your money is going to a good cause here.

The room downstairs had a private bathroom that is not connected to the room directly. Its not really an issue. But keep that in mind. For the rest I really recommend this place.

Very unique authentic experience. The hotel owner/ manager had built it himself and it felt unique and a work of art. He was also very helpful. He was evidently a good cook, we only experienced the breakfast that was very good wish we had been able to eat our evening meal there. The countryside palms and farmland also very beautiful to walk in, rare birds

Nothing. But it’s not a five star hotel.

My wife and I had a truly wonderful stay at Kasbah Maktob. We have visited the Agdz/Tamnougalt region many times on our way to and from the desert, but this was our first time staying inside the ksar itself. I'm glad we did. Kasbah Maktob is a short walk from the parking area near the square and is well signposted. It’s worth noting that the route includes a few inclines, so it’s best to leave heavier luggage in the vehicle. The kasbah is beautiful throughout, with a traditional, atmospheric character. Hidden corners, Moroccan rugs, and thoughtfully styled interiors give it a very distinctive charm. The rooftop terrace offers outstanding views over the palm grove and surrounding mountains. We stayed in the Family Room with Garden View, which included a private outdoor seating area overlooking the palmeraie. It was a perfect place to relax if you can get this room. It's often booked. Mustapha was an attentive and welcoming host. We had many enjoyable conversations, particularly around our shared appreciation for traditional Moroccan rugs. Breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious, and the evening tagines were excellent all made by Mustapha himself. I would definitely recommend staying here and would no doubt stay again.

Nothing really. Maybe a parasol over the Family Room terrace, but I'm being picky.

Kasbah Maktob Tamnougalt is a real hidden gem. The photos online do not capture how special this place is. It feels like stepping into another time: an authentic traditional kasbah inside an old ksar, with incredible views over the oasis and mountains. Our room was one of the most beautiful rooms we had in Morocco. We strongly recommend booking the Family Room with Garden View if available. The view from the window was unforgettable — the oasis, the mountains and the changing light were so beautiful that we took dozens of photos just from the room itself. It was honestly hard to leave. The owner was warm, relaxed and genuinely welcoming. He met us at the parking area and showed us the way. One practical note: the walk from the parking to the kasbah takes around 7–10 minutes on an uneven path, so it is best to take everything you need from the car at once, especially before dark. This may also be difficult for people with mobility issues. The kasbah itself feels authentic rather than staged. After visiting Kasbah Amridil, we could recognize many traditional architectural elements here, which made the stay even more meaningful. The food was also very tasty, and the whole place had a quiet, cinematic atmosphere. There is no pool, but about 15 minutes away by car is Cascade of Tizgui. The waterfall is modest, but if you walk deeper into the canyon behind the restaurant, you can find beautifully clean and refreshing water. Wading through the river there became one of our best spontaneous experiences in Morocco. After Marrakech, the desert and Todra Gorge, we thought nothing would surprise us anymore — but Kasbah Maktob did. A beautiful, peaceful and unforgettable place. 10/10.
