Telouet Kasbah stands in the Drâa-Tafilalet region of central Morocco, nestled in the Atlas Mountains. This earthen fortress served as the residence of the Glaoui family, influential tribal leaders during the French protectorate era. The kasbah features intricate mud-brick architecture, decorated courtyards, and ornate plasterwork. Visitors trek through the ruins to observe traditional Moroccan construction techniques and the structure's strategic mountain location.
Telouet Kasbah is located in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco, approximately 21 kilometres off the N9 Marrakech-to-Ouarzazate road, at an elevation of around 1,800 metres. It served as the stronghold of the Glaoui clan during the French protectorate era and remains one of the most historically significant and least-restored kasbahs in southern Morocco.
