Natural solutions

Build, restore, modify.

With nearly 18 years experience in the field, SENS ATLAS has evolved to provide a "hands on" introduction to Adobe construction, from the foundations to the roof coverings. It includes identifying soil types, preparation of the mix, making the bricks, wall finishes and a wealth of essential information to allow one to build one's own home in this natural, ecologically friendly material.

SENS ATLAS aspires to offer the most relaxed yet stimulating environment set in a lovingly restored and extended Berber home yet with all modern conveniences. Walking through the nearby almond orchard, one reaches the patchwork of tilled, fertile earth that opens into the expanse of the canyon and the impressive river that runs it's length. If something more demanding and adventurous is desired, we have professional guides on hand for those in search of fossils, minerals or meteorites or just trekking through the dramatic mountain range.

Ksar Ait' Youb - Sens Atlas,  is located at the mouth of a meandering canyon, set among centuries old adobe structures, fruit and nut orchards. We are only a few minute walk from the river and the ruins of a thousand year old kasbah.

The nearest large town is called Rich; we are located 64 Km west. At the 22 Km mark, take the left fork to Amellago which lies 44 Km further on. At the junction take the right fork for 3 Km. We are located at the end of a dirt track off to the left, directly in front of a blue sign.
