Just 40 km from Ait Benhadou Kasbah, you will see another  Kasbah of Telouet, a former route of the caravans from the Sahara over the Atlas Mountains to Marrakech. It was also  the seat of the El Glaoui family’s power; they were given political power of Morocco south of High Atlas Mountains by the King Moulay Hassan. The Glaouis were almost as strong in power as the sultan himself. The palace can still be visited but it is steadily becoming more damaged and is slowly collapsing. In 2010, work was underway to restore the property.  lunch in the Pass of Tichka and drive to Marrakech.
