Building earth houses

Building houses from earth in Morocco is like making sand castles but with fully grown children in the sand pit!

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).

Fab holiday during Ramadan

Anyway, a fab holiday in Morocco and nothing to really complain about at all. The hotels were just perfect for us, really liked your choices which all felt unique and not some corporate anywhere-in-the-world type hotel.

We visited in Ramandan but I have to say that didn’t cause any issues at all. 

We will certainly recommend to friends …

We explored all the zebra-skins, live chameleons, piles of indigo and jars of argan oil in the souk.

Deputy Editor of Harper’s Bazaar, Sasha Slater, travelled with her family to Marrakech and Ouirgane with Lawrence of Morocco in April 2014.
