New York Times, 22 October 2006: "The Kasbah du Toubkal, a mountain retreat in the High Atlas outside Marrakech...filled with wild flowers, it opens onto splendid vista - reddish-brown mountains dotted with green walnut groves and boxy bud- brick villages, farmers tending sheep on distant hills and Mount Toubkal rising snow- capped and gray-blue in the distance. I'm no sucker for eco-tourism boilerplate but I was impressed by the Kasbah's approach.
The sounds of New York slowly dissipated until all I could hear was the "Allah Akbar" of muezzins echoing across valleys, the occasional crowing of a rooster, the barely perceptible rustle of a faraway waterfall....I looked up at the remote lodge, a lovely pink stone house atop the town's highest hill. It was worth the final push. Our bathroom had a marble tub and plenty of hot running water...After the calm of the Atlas, Marrakech was a blur...We felt as if we'd traversed a thousand years of human development in one long day."
