My name is Badr — though many guests call me Pedro. I was born and raised within the Kasbah of Tamnougalt, where I continue to care for our family home, preserving a legacy passed down from my great-grandfather. The restoration of Riad La Perle has been a deeply personal journey. Every detail you see has been thoughtfully restored and maintained by hand — with patience, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility toward this heritage. From the structure itself to the smallest touches in decoration, each element has been placed with intention, so the soul of the house remains intact. Together with my family, we take care of every aspect of daily life in the riad — from preparing meals to maintaining the space — ensuring that it is always treated with the attention and care it deserves. This place is more than a home or a project — it is part of who I am. Welcoming guests here means sharing not only a space, but a way of life shaped by history, simplicity, and genuine hospitality.

Riad La Perle is a private, family-owned heritage residence set within the historic Kasbah of Tamnougalt — offering a rare form of luxury defined not by modern excess, but by authenticity, space, and time-honored craftsmanship. Dating back to the 16th century, the riad is built entirely from local materials: palm trunks, river stones, and earth sourced from the surrounding valley. Its architecture reflects the original soul of the kasbah, with thick walls that naturally regulate temperature and traditional ventilation systems designed to maintain freshness in the desert climate. Handcrafted ceilings, tinted with natural pigments such as saffron and indigo, reveal a refined aesthetic rooted in ancestral knowledge. Rather than being transformed, the riad has been carefully preserved. Minimal, respectful restorations have been carried out to maintain its structure while subtly enhancing comfort — allowing guests to experience a space that remains true to its origins. This is not a recreated setting, but a living legacy passed down through generations. The experience is intentionally intimate and unhurried. Spacious rooms, panoramic terraces overlooking the palm groves of the Draa Valley, and quiet corners invite guests to disconnect and immerse themselves fully. Meals are prepared daily in-house using fresh, local ingredients, offering a genuine taste of Moroccan cuisine in a setting that feels both personal and exclusive. For travelers seeking more than comfort, Riad La Perle offers an authentic stay within a 16th-century kasbah — where heritage, simplicity, and true Moroccan living take center stage. As part of its original kasbah architecture, the riad features traditional stairways and multiple levels, which may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.

Riad La Perle is located in the heart of the historic Kasbah of Tamnougalt, one of the oldest and most authentic ksars in the Draa Valley — a place where history, culture, and daily life remain deeply intertwined. Within the kasbah, guests can explore the remains of an old synagogue, a quiet testament to a time when Jewish and Amazigh communities lived side by side in harmony. Nearby, a small local museum preserves objects from the past, offering insight into traditional ways of life — from cooking utensils to building tools used for generations. Just a short walk away, the old public hammam reflects another aspect of local heritage, where community life was once organized around shared rituals — with women gathering during the day and men in the evening after work. Beyond the kasbah walls, the surrounding palm groves and landscapes invite for peaceful walks. In the distance, Djbel Kissane rises above the valley, its unique shape often compared to a traditional Moroccan teapot, while the lush palm trees below resemble glasses of mint tea — a poetic image deeply rooted in local imagination. Tamnougalt remains calm, authentic, and untouched by mass tourism, offering a rare opportunity to experience Morocco’s cultural richness in a setting that feels both timeless and deeply human.
