Whilst there, my parents found a beautiful Kasbah and dreamed of turning it into a wonderful Moroccan retreat.

I am pleased to welcome you to Kasbah Tamadot, (Tamadot meaning soft breeze in Berber), which is perhaps one of the most beautiful properties in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco.

A magnificent array of architecture set against the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, beneath a brilliant blue sky that reveals the city’s true nature – a luxuriant, sun-soaked oasis, heady with the scent of the jasmine and orange blossom that adorn its gardens. Within its adobe walls, in the sun-streaked shade, the medina’s teeming streets are alive with activity. A hubbub of voices calling back and forth, vibrant colours, the air filled with the fragrance of cedar wood and countless spices. Sounds, colours and smells unite gloriously to compose an astonishing sensorial symphony.

  • CASABLANCA, MOROCCO Arrive: 0800 Friday, 28 September Onboard: 1800 Monday, 1 October
    CASABLANCA, MOROCCO Arrive: 0800 Friday, 28 September Onboard: 1800 Monday, 1 October Brief Overview: Exotic Morocco is an intoxicating blend of sights, smells, and sounds. In Casablanca, the Hassan II Mosque (inaugurated in 1993) is the largest in the world after Mecca. The bazaars and kasbahs are fascinating to experience, and Moroccan cuisine is considered by many to be some of the best in the world. Spend an evening or a couple of days with a family to really understand the culture and the people of this intriguing country. Nearby: Rabat, an elegant, modern capital city, offers visitors a view of the historic grandeur and cultural diversity of Morocco with a smaller, more relaxed kasbah and medina. Participate in half day or full day trips such as CAS25 or CAS35. Fes: The old-town Medina of Fes will transport the visitor to another century. Citizens still gather at the local well for water, apothecary carts on the streets offer medicinal treatments, and vast open leather-dying pits are a sight to behold. Visit Meknes and explore the best-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco at Volubilis. Marrakech: The city of Marrakech is a hub of activity with an intriguing Medina and bazaar itself. It also serves as the inland base for adventures ranging from Camel Riding in Palm Groves; visiting a Nomad Camp in the mountains; a treasure hunt/zipline adventure; or the beautiful Ourika Valley. Other Destinations: Adventurers from the 2011 voyage described their trip to the Berber Villages of the High Atlas Mountains as a “transformative experience.” New by request for 2012 is a camel trek in the Sahara (CAS04) via Ouarzazate and the magical Draa Valley.
