Ouled Driss Kasbah
Ouled Driss
A mud-brick fortified village near M'Hamid, where a small kasbah museum shows oasis life.
Ouled Driss is one of the better-preserved mud-brick villages at the end of the Draa Valley. The village kasbah has been converted into a small folk museum, where visitors can see traditional living rooms, kitchens, farm tools and a well. Hosts often offer guests mint tea. The palm groves and dunes around the village are good for a walk. It is a convenient stop on the way to Erg Chigaga, and admission is cheap.
