Here are a selection of photos of the building of Chez Max.  The house is located in the stunning village of Tagadert, 24 km from Marrakech on the Amizmiz road.  The houses are constructed of earth bricks ("tub" in Arabic).

Faultless from start to finish.

Dear Max,

Faultless from start to finish. I can't possibly think of anything that we were unhappy with, please pass on my thanks to all those involved with sorting out our break.

Regards,

 

Charles
