The story of La Casbah la Jeanne: For over 20 years escorting people from all around the world in deserts, mountains, valleys and historical places, I discovered the interest and beauty of my own country through the eyes of my travel companions. The sheer beauty of the casbahs and the ksours here has always attracted the wish to photograph and while doing so people always say; “Moha, something should be done to protect this wonderful and unique heritage.” This planted the seed of my dream in my mind which took form as I journeyed through the country, often humming the inspiring tune of Brassins’ "La Jeanne." By 2009, my project was ready and I was able to send out the plans to my many friends and contacts. Encouragement and ideas flowed in from all over the world.Kind and generous friends were willing to help financially, making it much easier. After five years of hard work and determination, the construction was finally completed and a real, authentic casbah had come true. The granting of the opening license in December 2013 was the best New Year present I have ever had. Proud of the final result, grateful for the limitless help of all friends, I must thank each and every one of them, without whom the project would never have been completed successfully. This Casbah –my life, my history and my dream is offering me now more contacts from all over the world. This Casbah has a very good reputation seeing the excellent reviews posted on many travel websites. It is a good example of the Berbere ancestral architeture as it is built with clay and wood. We offer organic food. A tour in the nearby village permits contact with the villagers and their day-to-day pastoral life. A one hour walk to the picturesque plain in Boumalne allows you to see nomads with their herds of goats, sheep, and camels. This guest house Casbah is located is located in a strategic axis between the Dades Gorges, the Valley of the Roses, the Todra Gorges, the Anti-Atlas mountain, the Jebel Saghro, and the birds valley.
