To celebrate, Kasbah Tamadot is offering a four nights for the price of three special offer for all guests who stay in the new Berber Tented suites until 18th December 2008.

Perched on the hillside, five minutes from the main Kasbah, the luxurious Berber Tented suites offer stunning views of the Atlas Mountains. Decorated with traditional Moroccan inspired furnishings, with a contemporary twist, each tented suite features a King-size bed, large soaking tubs with mountain views, and a terrace with private plunge pool, sun loungers and outdoor dining area. They also all come equipped with split air conditioning units to keep cool in summer and warm in winter!

Accessed through the herb and vegetable garden, the tented suites are perfect for those looking for a little more privacy. Each tented suite has its own Berber name, every one with a special meaning - Afoulky (Beauty), Addou (Wind), Amalou (Shade), Azoka (Tree), Adrar (Mountain) and Azenzer (Ray of Sun).
