Riad Kasbah Oliver

Top choice in Central Morocco


Owned by Tighza native Mohamed El Qasemy and his British wife Carolyn, Riad Kasbah Oliver is a labour of love. Built by hand from stone and earth by local village craftsmen, the result is simple, sustainable accommodation. Doors were fashioned in Telouet, furniture upcycled and hot showers are solar-powered.

Walking tours, overnight camping at Lac Tamda, salt-mine visits, souq trips, and homestays or tea with local villagers are just some of the many activities that can be arranged. You'll find the turnoff to Tighza 11km east of Telouet along the Ounila Highway, from where it is a 4.2km drive on a very rough piste (dirt track) to the village. Call directly to arrange transport.
