Here are a selection of photos of the building of Chez Max.  The house is located in the stunning village of Tagadert, 24 km from Marrakech on the Amizmiz road.  The houses are constructed of earth bricks ("tub" in Arabic).

Overall we had a great time, we would return to Marrakech!

Hi Max

Thanks for your email, overall we had a great time, we would return to Marrakech, and we would definitely recommend you to all of our friends that are thinking of going to Morocco.
