Kasbah Tisourgane: Ancient fortress

February 22, 2025

This was a great ride- no traffic. Komoot wanted to take us on a side road for the entire ride but we decided to stay on the main route because the grade looked better. I think this was a good choice- we could often see the other road to our right and it looked like a lot of up and down. The highest we got was 4,400' and it was down hil for the last 2-3 miles. There was a place to have coffee about 5 miles from the end.

The Kasbah is intricately constructed with rocks. We had a propane stove in our room and we used it because it was cold. We walked all over the kasbah taking photos. It was so interesting-lots of come to this place just to walk through it (for a fee) so staying there overnight made it all the more special. And, it wasn't all that expensive- $74 with breakfast and dinner. Highly recommended.

Dinner was in a common dining room. There were only a few other people there so we all wound up talking together. One of them started telling us about a couple of neat places to stay and as a result of that conversation we made some delightful changes to our route.

Komoot put us on this gravel road for part way. It was great.

And then you come around a corner and this comes into view!

They take your luggage up to the top....

These shots were all taken inside the kasbah and there are way too many but indulge us.

The lobby. This place is being run and maintained by a family that grew up in it.
