Good call Bedmaker, had an overnight on the Atlas Traverse bike trip, nice place, cosy and warm…
Pete, I would call the Kasbah and ask about accommodation. Last time I was there they were building some family rooms, plus, they have a very good programme with the local community school as an education opportunity for young girls. Also they do a lot to help manage recycling and garbage in the village so I reckon they would be well connected to the locals. You may even get a stay with a family or similar….
