This is Kasbah Taourirt in Ouarzazate, a Sahara Desert gateway town in the center-south of our mystery country. Taourirt was built in the 19th century by the Glaoui, a ruling clan of the south. UNESCO has restored the palace section of the kasbah and it is open to tourists. The Kasbah was a small fortified village, with multiple single-family dwellings inside, as well as the palace, and several families still live there.
Can you name that country?

I recently came across a pile of prints from a trip to Morocco in 2001. Most are not very good quality and after scanning, they’re even worse. Good excuse to go to town with Photoshop. Woohoo!
