Agadir region best Ecolodge
by Linda_SF about Atlas Kasbah
My stay in Atlas Kasbah was life changing. Berber people are VERY special with a lot of wisdom and much to share with us. It is a trip of a lifetime to stay in these Berber awe inspiring surroundings.
The Berber staff was knowledgeable, wonderful & professional. Every effort is made to have the guests be comfortable.
I found our room charming, well appointed and romantic and the lodge is lovely.
We loved it and would love to go back! I can’t recommend it enough. The staff is just great, the pool boasts a spectacular view, rooms are huge, they propose moroccan cooking courses with a very nice Berber woman, the traditional homemade bread warm & delicious is a delight for breakfast.
Everything there is ecological so you feel just so well, the walls are made of earth, the cleaning is made with biological product so there's no harmful chemical going around.

Hi, Yes there are and air conditioned comfort. We travelled from Tangier to Marrakech on 19/08/2004 and back on the sleeper train. You can look at the timetable on www.oncf.ma or look for oncf on your search engine. You may need to change at Sidi Kachem but there are through trains Tangier - Casa and back. Travel first class. The one-way trip Tangier - Marrakech which takes 9 hours (400 miles) cost us £17 each. Take some food with you and water. The trolley comes round twice but only the coffee is realy consumable. Have a good trip. If you need recomended accommodation in Marrakech or the High Atlas I can help. Regards GordonF

Tangier Ville is the station but a long walk from town, take a petit taxi approx 20dh (£1.30). Accommodation in high atlas = Kasbah du Toubkal is near Imlil an awsome setting - right amongs the mountains but only 2hrs from Marrakech by taxi/hire car or take a bus to Asni and get a local taxi. The Kasbah can arrange trecking from half day to 4 days with guide and mules or do what we did - borrow a map and go it alone.
www.discover.ltd.uk and follow links to Kasbah. I'm struggling to find websit for Marrakech accom. I appear to have lost it. We stayed in the Medina/Souk in a refurbished Rhiad - Dar Assoura, Derb Lalla Azzouna 6, off Rue Issebutyne, Place du Moukef. Local No. in Morocco 063275414. I can fax you a map.

No nothing in english. Follow the link Horaires and fill in your departure (Tanger Ville) and arrival (Casa Voyagers) stations, date of travel and the time you want to travel. The machine does the rest. You can also follow the link through L'offre Trains and get an Excel printable version of the whole timetable. Book your return journey when you buy the outward ticket if you can. ONCF only take cash (Dh or Euros). It is a lot easier than it sounds, all the ONCF staff we approached spoke english and were very friendly. Regards GordonF
