A visit to Kasbah Amridil is not mandatory, it's up to you! It is the jewel of Skoura, testimony to the cultural and architectural heritage of the region. Formerly Skoura was a rich and prosperous territory thanks to trade and agriculture, the village is dotted with many majestic kasbahs, most of them abandoned. The Kasbah Amridil has always been maintained by the family of the owners and offers you an immersion in the history and culture of Skoura. This visit of approximately 1 hour is in addition at an attractive price.
