ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Kasbah

A kasbah is like a really cool, fancy fort that used to be found in North Africa. Think of it like a really special clubhouse, except it was meant for grown-ups to live in and protect their families from bad guys. It's made out of really thick walls that keep everyone inside safe, with a big gate to go in and out. Inside, there are lots of little rooms for people to sleep in and even a special spot to keep animals safe too. People used to build them a long time ago to help protect themselves from people who might want to hurt them or take their things. Nowadays, some kasbahs have been turned into hotels and places for people to stay and visit, kind of like a really fancy museum!
