Imlil High Atlas, nr Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz, MAROKKO
Preise ab 168 EUR
The Kasbah du Toubkal, just 60 km. from Marrakech is situated at the foot of Jbel Toubkal - the highest peak in North Africa. A Berber hospitality centre, at 1800 metres above sea level, the Kasbah unobtrusively looks out over three major valleys carved out of majestic rocky mountains rising to over 4000 metres boasting unbeatable rooftop views.
This is the home of eleven villages of the Ait Mizane tribe of the High Atlas. So impressive is the scenery that film director Martin Scorsese chose Imlil as one of the locations for 'Kundun', his film about the Dalai Lama, temporarily transforming the Kasbah into a Tibetan monastery. Regardless of your level of fitness the gentle pace of Imlil and the Berber world is open to you.
The Kasbah du Toubkal is an extraordinary venture, the product of an imaginative Berber and European partnership. There is a shared belief that the beauty of the Toubkal National Park should be accessible to all who respect it. To this end the Kasbah has been transformed using traditional methods, from the home of a Feudal Caid into an unprecedented haven; one that provides a variety of accommodation and event possibilities to meet differing requirements.
The Kasbah is a welcoming environment for those seeking a comfortable mountain refuge, and for those who wish for superb rooms in a stunning setting. It is also a conference centre for those who are searching for a venue that inspires, one that provides peace in a spectacular and remote location, whilst providing the best of modern equipment. The Kasbah du Toubkal is not a hotel in the traditional sense, it is more an extension of the hospitality that stems from the home of the Berbers who run it.
