PMR-D7539 
 Morocco, Telouet: the Palace of Glaoui on the caravan route from the Sahara to Marakesh over the High Atlas Mountains was the home of the wealthy Glaoui family. Built in the 1860s and extended in the early 20th century, no cost was spared on the interior decoration. It lies at 1800 metres a.s.l. near the Berber village of Telouet.
View of the exterior, the stonework somewhat in need of restoration.
