Palliative night watch in Kasbah

The Kasbah is the imperial quarter of Marrakech, south of the Médina: it watches over the Saadian Tombs, the El Badi Palace, the Moulay El Yazid mosque and the monumental Bab Agnaou gate. Dense with riads, traditional houses and historic buildings, it is an area where long-established Marrakech families mingle with passing guests staying in guesthouses and a constant flow of visitors come to discover the monuments.

Like all of the old town, the Kasbah requires access on foot through its lanes, and our nurses know its passages and landmarks — the place Moulay Yazid, Bab Agnaou, the approaches to the El Badi Palace — to reach your door without detours. This familiarity with the terrain makes all the difference in a district where finding your way can quickly defeat an unfamiliar service.
