Valley of 1000 Kasbahs

Skoura (Ouarzazate), Morocco

Skoura is located in the heart of the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs smack dab in the middle of a palm grove surrounded by deserted landscapes with views of the Atlas Mountains in the distance.

This particular kasbah, Kasbah Amerhidil, is featured on the 50 Dirham Note of Morocco's currency.
