If it's
good enough for Kate Winslet, Kasbah Tizimi's laid-back vibe, flowering courtyards and
tasteful riad-style rooms are good enough for us. Pad across
zellij
-and-terracotta floors,
lounge on funky wrought-iron beds or sun yourself beneath thatched parasols around the
pool. The poolside family room is spacious and has a prime position.
Kasbah Xaluca Maadid

; s/d Dh845/1120, ste Dh1620-2220; )
A flashy
pool-party scene straight out of music videos, only with more kids. Junior suites come
with fossilised marble bedsteads and mineral lamps; suites are frilly, with chintz dust
ruffles on four-poster beds. Desert travellers appreciate the spa, but kids head for the pool
and minigolf course. It's 5km before Erfoud on the right.
