Ksar Oulad Abdelhalim

Ziz Valley & the Tafilalt


Around 2km south of the yellow shrine on your right, this ruin once called the ‘Alhambra of the Tafilalt’ was built around 1900 for Sultan Moulay Hassan’s elder brother. Walk through the wooden door, then veer right, left and right again to admire the remaining painted ceilings and carved stucco windows.
