……….. “Come with me … to the Kasbah!” ………….
The Kasbah in Morocco. April 15 – May 8.
For two weeks I will travel in Morocco with a small group of photographers to visit fortified towns and Berber villages, the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert. Ride a camel and sleep in a tent!
Kasbah, medina, and mellah – my lenses are clear, my memory cards clean. And this time I packed a tall, collapsible tripod. It fits diagonally in my suitcase.
On my own for an additional week in Morocco, I plan to drive along the Atlantic coast and the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Aït Benhaddou is a fortified city along the former caravan route between the Sahara and Marrakech. It is situated in Souss-Massa-Draaon on a hill along the Ounila River and is known for its Kasbahs, although they take damage with each rainstorm.
Most of the town's inhabitants now live in a more modern village at the other side of the river; however, eight families still live within the ksar.
