Horse Ride to Tifoultoute Kasbah: 2 Hours through Palm Groves
Two hours along desert trails and palm groves to Kasbah Tifoultoute, a centuries old fortress overlooking the valley.
This ride follows a softer side of Ouarzazate. Desert trails give way to palm groves and green patches, and the slow rhythm of the horse lets you notice the farms and the life along the way.
As you ride, your guide talks about Berber history and how people live here. The destination is Kasbah Tifoultoute, a centuries old fortress that overlooks the valley.
At the kasbah you dismount to look at its traditional architecture and take in the panoramic view before riding back.
